Somehow Alonso's streak of making the wrong career choice keeps on continuing. One of the most legendary streaks in F1
Idk.. rumour is that Merc only offered one year whereas Aston offered multiple years. Why would you want to go to a team that puts you on a single year contract, likely just as a placeholder for Antonelli. Aston may not be top dog rn but they believe in him, trust him, and are clearly putting the effort in to improve the team with the new facilities theyβre building
The difference in current trajectory of Merc vs. Aston? With Merc he would have a good chance of getting wins next season and Antonelli is not certain to get into Merc after one year, especially if Alonso out performed George.
Aston are getting the new wind tunnel and poached a lot of talent. Plus the ~~GP2~~ Honda engine. They might sink, they might swim, but the trajectory after this year may not be so clear cut.
