Fernando Fires Back at Rumors

Fernando Alonso is firing back at rumors about his future in Formula 1. 🚀 A vague social media post sparked speculation that grew like wildfire. However, Alonso swiftly shut down the chatter, saying, "Just normal paddock rumours from people who are just trying to make fun and gain some followers, and these kinds of things. But I’m not into that game"

He expressed his frustration with those who questioned his loyalty to Aston Martin and promised, "I will make sure that there are consequences." 🔥

Alonso reminded to keep things in perspective. He acknowledged Aston Martin's current struggles but highlighted their remarkable progress, noting their transition from a 250-person team to an 800-strong contender for the future with seven podiums this year. 🏆

Despite the challenges, Alonso sees the 2023 campaign as a "super season" for the team. 🌟
