The two-time world champion has suffered DNFs at both legs of the latest triple-header so far.<\/p>\n<p>The result of these struggles has been catastrophic for both Alonso\u2019s personal campaign in the Drivers\u2019 Championship and Aston Martin\u2019s Constructor Championship hopes. The 42-year-old has been relegated to fifth in the standings ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix and could feasibly still finish behind Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the rumours surrounding his F1 future, Alonso hit back: &#8220;It is just rumours, normal paddock rumours, from people that are just trying to make fun of it and gain some followers, and these kinds of things. But I&#8217;m not into that game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to join our WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive F1 news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Michael Schumacher&#8217;s lawyer speaks out on battle to protect health privacy[LATEST] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am not enjoying [it] because even in this room, I appreciate that all of you are journalists, professional people, that have been in F1 for so many years.

Of course, that&#8217;s the thing that they are making, but I will make sure that there are consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The F1 community was whipped into a frenzy after the Mexican Grand Prix when journalist Albert Fabrega took to the X social media platform to tease a vague rumour that he hinted would have a major impact on the sport.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> <strong> More F1&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Fernando Alonso admits defeat to Lando Norris as Aston Martin collapse continues[ALONSO] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Red Bull snap up &#8216;the next Sebastian Vettel&#8217; after Marko axed four drivers[RED BULL] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Christian Horner downplays Hamilton display after clashing with him in Mexico[HAMILTON] <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &#038; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/Sergio-Perez-Red-Bull-5046209.jpg?r=1698944378829\"><\/p>\n<p>While Fabrega didn\u2019t explicitly mention Alonso in his tweets, his Spanish nationality, combined with the Aston Martin driver\u2019s frustrations throughout the weekend allowed fans\u2019 and journalists\u2019 imaginations to run wild in speculation.<\/p>\n<p>This speculation was only fuelled by another miserable weekend for Sergio Perez in the second Red Bull seat. The 33-year-old crashed out on the opening lap of his home race after an impressive launch gave him a shot at challenging for the lead heading into turn one.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With Perez failing to score a point at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, his lead over Lewis Hamilton in the Drivers\u2019 Championship has been cut to just 20 points heading into the remaining three races. This has placed Red Bull\u2019s first-ever one-two finish, as well as his own future into question.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/f1-autosport\/1830843\/Fernando-Alonso-Red-Bull-rumours-consequences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Fernando Alonso has promised \u201cconsequences\u201d for those who speculated about his future after the paddock exploded with rumours about a sensational early departure from Aston <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/racing\/f1\/furious-alonso-hits-back-at-red-bull-rumours-with-consequences-threatened\/\" title=\"Furious Alonso hits back at Red Bull rumours with \u2018consequences\u2019 threatened\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293894,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-293895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
