Helmut Marko has dismissed the rumours linking Fernando Alonso with a sensational move to join reigning constructor champions Red Bull for the 2024 season. The Aston Martin driver has been at the centre of speculation in the paddock ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend.<\/p>\n
The rumours kicked off after Spanish journalist Albert Fabrega teased an unspecified major change in the world of F1 after the Mexican Grand Prix. With the subject of the speculation left a mystery, fans and fellow paddock journalists were allowed to run wild with many suggesting that Alonso\u2019s future was the source of the shock.<\/p>\n
The issue of Alonso\u2019s future was raised off the back of a miserable outing in Mexico City last weekend. The two-time world champion was forced to retire for the second race in succession due to mechanical issues, while team-mate Lance Stroll also failed to take the chequered flag.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When asked about the speculation linking Alonso to Red Bull, Marko told F1 Insider: \u201cAs for the rumours about Alonso, I can well imagine that Alonso spread them himself because his results with Aston Martin have been very disappointing recently after the brilliant start to the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once again and for the record, we only have sporting goals in mind that we will keep ourselves busy with until the last race in Abu Dhabi. And they are that we want to win all the races and make it clear to Perez that he is runner-up.\u201d<\/p>\n The catalyst for any late drama in the 2023 driver market will stem from Sergio Perez, although Marko\u2019s comments reiterated that the back-to-back constructor champions intend to retain the Mexican\u2019s services for the final year of his contract, despite a tumultuous end to the campaign.<\/p>\n More F1… <\/strong>
