The Spaniard has stressed that first he will make a call on whether or not he wants to remain in F1 in 2025 and then he will decide where he will drive, with staying at Aston Martin his priority.
Lewis Hamilton’s departure for Ferrari has left a vacant seat at Mercedes for next season, while ongoing talk about Max Verstappen’s possible departure from Red Bull could open up another tantalising opportunity for the 42-year-old.
However, Alonso remains adamant that he won’t rely on other people making a decision for him and will do whatever suits him.
“I've been always that way,” he said. “Sometimes it did help me, sometimes it did hurt me, to be the owner of my destiny.
“I chose when to go from a team, when to join a team, I chose when to stop F1. And I chose when to come back.
“Now I will choose what I do next year. I will not follow what others do, and they dictate my destiny. I will do it on my own. For good or for bad, this is the way I am.”
