What has not already been said about multiple World Drivers Champion Fernando Alonso?

A Spanish racing driver currently competing in Formula One. He won the series’ World Drivers’ Championship in 2005 and 2006 with Renault, having also driven for McLaren, Ferrari and Minardi. With Toyota, Alonso has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice, in 2018 and 2019, and the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2018–19, whilst he won the 24 Hours of Daytona with Wayne Taylor Racing in 2019.

Alonso began kart racing at the age of three and achieved success in local, national, and world championships. He progressed to car racing at the age of 17, winning the Euro Open by Nissan in 1999 and was fourth in the International Formula 3000 Championship of 2000. He debuted in F1 with Minardi in 2001 before joining Renault as a test driver for 2002. Promoted to a race seat in 2003, Alonso won two drivers’ championships in 2005 and 2006, becoming the youngest pole-sitter, youngest race winner, youngest world champion, and youngest two-time champion in the sport’s history at the time. After finishing third with McLaren in 2007, he returned to Renault for 2008 and 2009 and won two races in the former year for fifth overall. Alonso drove for Ferrari from 2010 to 2014, finishing runner-up to Sebastian Vettel in three tightly contested title duels in 2010, 2012, and 2013. A second stint with McLaren from 2015 to 2018 resulted in no further success.

At the time of his first retirement, Alonso had won 32 F1 Grands Prix, 22 pole positions, and 1,899 points from 311 starts. He is currently the only Spanish F1 driver to have won either a Grand Prix or the World Championship.
