Vettel to Alonso: "How old will we be in 2026? We should continue"

The Volkswagen group confirmed its intention to reach Formula 1 in 2026, when the highest category launches the new engine regulations , and neither the participation of Audi nor that of Porsche is ruled out.

The two firms have been linked to different projects. Porsche is expected to join Red Bull as a driver, and McLaren has been endeared to Audi, which is also not ruling out being a team of its own rather than just a power unit supplier.

At this Friday’s press conference for the 2022 Canadian GP in F1, there was talk of the possible arrival of the two historic brands, with Motorsport.com asking Vettel if he would like to be a driver for Porsche or Audi when they reach the top of the table. motoring.

Sebastian Vettel, who ends his contract this season and has not yet renewed with Aston Martin, looked at Alonso, who had him aside, and left a curious response:

“How old are we going to be in 2026, Fernando? You will be 46 years old and I will be the age you are now [Really Alonso is 40 years old and Vettel will be 39 in 2026]. We should go ahead, yes?”

Vettel and Fernando Alonso are two of the three oldest drivers on the current grid, and in the case of the German, the shadow of retirement is there. However, he always leaves answers with a double reading that does not clarify if he will continue or if he was just joking about how old he will be when Porsche and Audi are finally in Formula 1.

If so, in 2026 Vettel would have reached 21 seasons in the world championship, and just this Friday marks the 15th anniversary of his first weekend as a starting driver, at that 2007 United States GP.

As for the Spaniard from Alpine, in the last Azerbaijan GP he reached the historical record for the driver with the longest career (in terms of time) in Formula 1. Yes, as Motorsport.com has learned, Alonso renews with the French team by 2023, it will have reached 20 seasons, while if Vettel’s words were fulfilled, in 2026, the Asturian would reach 23 courses.
