Fernando Alonso is keen to squash all rumours of a move to Red Bull looking for vengeance against those who created them.

The rumour of Alonso’s move was triggered by Spanish TV journalist Albert Fabrega. Fabrega posted a cryptic tweet after the Mexican Grand Prix. This led to the belief that he was suggesting a big move for the Spanish driver.

However, when asked about the possible move, Alonso insisted he is not leaving Aston Martin.

He said: “It is just rumours, normal paddock rumours, from people that are just trying to make fun of it and gain some followers, and these kinds of things.”

Alonso dismissed the rumours and stated he was unimpressed with the lack of professionalism in the media.

He said: “I am not enjoying [it] because even in this room, I appreciate that all of you are journalists, professional people, that have been in F1 for so many years.

“You gain your respect, and this is how it should be. So, all the rumours are coming from people that are not in this room, are just here to make fun and I think it’s not funny when they play with anything.”

“We cannot even be too dramatic about the situation when this 2023 campaign has been a super season for us.”

Understandably irked, he explained he was particularly unhappy with the rumours due to the suggested links with Red Bull and that had lost faith in Aston Martin.

Aston Martin has been a victim of several rumours since Qatar. From Lance Stroll leaving the team to Saudi Arabian investors taking over ownership, the future of the team is currently in suspension.

However, despite this, Alonso has made clear he has no plans to leave.

He said: “Obviously, we are not happy. Mike [Krack] is not happy, no one is happy with the current form.

“But at the same time, I said a few races ago, this team was 250 people two years ago, now we are in this transition to be hopefully a contender for the future with 800 people, and a new factory.

“Seven podiums this year, 200 points more than last year, all these kinds of things which are not the current form.

“We should not be happy, but we cannot even be too dramatic about the situation when this 2023 campaign has been a super season for us.”

The Spaniard also made it clear he was keen to not allow those who spread it to escape.

He said: “Of course, that’s the thing that they are making, but I will make sure that there are consequences.”

Unsure of what this might entail, it’s easy to understand that Alonso is obviously still passionate about the Aston Martin team.
