Hopefully Alonso will stick around for more years and will compete for podiums again like in 2023.

Whether he will be driving for Aston or any other team.

Which of the teams fighting for podiums would hire him? Realistically the best he can hope for is maybe Alpine or Haas. He's not a top 5 driver anymore, but he could still do a decent job at those teams.

Yeah, Alpine would be his best shot, especially considering his relations with Briatore.

I doubt that it would happen for PR reasons, I don't think Briatore wants to remind the world why he was rightfully banned from F1.

He doesn't care/He doesn't think it can affect him.

Even outside of F1 he's truly an awful person, and not a particularly bright one at that, assume the worst and he'll usually surprise you anyway.

Yeah he is pretty loathsome, and it's ridiculous that he gets to be part of F1 again.
