Alonso praises relationship with Stroll after renewal: 'I will support him'

Although it was never really in doubt, Aston Martin confirmed today that Lance Stroll has extended his contract at the British team for 2025 and beyond. Two-time F1 world champion Fernando Alonso, who will partner Stroll at Aston Martin until at least the end of the 2026 season, told GPblog and others in Austria that Stroll took some time to think about his future before renewing his contract at the team. Alonso also praised Stroll, stating that he has a 'different' type of relationship with him at Aston Martin, and hopes to help the Canadian long into the future.
