Edd Straw is joined by Ben Anderson and special guest Lawrence Barretto, correspondent and presenter for F1.com and Channel 4 F1, to discuss the news that Fernando Alonso has re-committed his future to Aston Martin, with the Spaniard signing a multi-year deal. Our trio discuss why both parties were keen to take this step, ask what they can realistically achieve together, and address whether Alonso's age might impact their potential. After that, Edd, Ben and Lawrence take a look at how Alonso's signing affects the rest of the driver market for 2024, before turning their attention back to Aston Martin and assessing the team's long-term potential.
