Alonso angry at social media speculations about his future

Aston Martin’s driver Fernando Alonso is obviously furious after the latest speculations about the double world champion’s future.

The 42-year-old Spaniard was linked with a move to Red Bull, as replacement for Sergio Perez, in social media posts after the Mexican Grand Prix as some people suggest he’s lost faith in the Aston Martin project. The team started the season on a high note, but gradually dropped to be the fourth or even fifth-best team on the grid.

“I’m not demotivated at all, I’m still enjoying a lot the project, I love the team, I think we had an incredible season even if now we are not obviously fast enough,” he told reporters at Brazil’s Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

“There are always going to be some rumours in Formula One, we should not believe maybe the people that are saying those rumours.

“These rumours are coming from people that are just social media guys, they want just some followers. It’s a shame and I will make sure there are consequences.”
