Fernando Alonso’s ‘body language’ at his home race is the biggest hint yet he could retire from F1

Fernando Alonso's performance at the recent Spanish Grand Prix raised speculation about his potential retirement from Formula 1. Finishing in 17th place, Alonso struggled with an underpowered Honda engine and faced a collision with Carlos Sainz. His demeanor during the race suggested a farewell, particularly as he expressed uncertainty about racing in Spain again. Alonso's contract with Aston Martin is set to expire in 2026, and he is weighing his options for the future.

Despite his disappointing race, Alonso showed support for his home crowd by completing the cooldown lap, which many interpreted as a farewell gesture. The two-time champion has voiced dissatisfaction with the current regulations and Aston Martin's performance this season. While the FIA president is keen to keep him in the sport, the ultimate decision regarding his future rests with Alonso, who may not want to end his career on a low note.
