Fernando Alonso

Fernando Alonso was born in Spain on July 29, 1981. The boy's family did not own millions, but fully endowed with attention and affection. Jose Luis (dad) worked as an explosives technician, and Anna Diaz (mother) - a salesman in the store. Fernando has an older sister, for whom his father built cards with his own hands on his eighth birthday.

The girl was not interested in such a gift, but the little brother did not depart from the red-and-white typewriter. The father realized that his son had the makings of a racer. He became convinced of this after the kid confidently got behind the wheel and took a ride on the map, although he was only 3 years old. The elder Alonso considers this moment in Fernando's biography a starting point in the world of sports.

Jose Luis was fond of karting and even periodically participated in amateur races. I tried to instill this passion and my own child. And it definitely succeeded. The boy grew calm and obedient, and the will of feelings and emotions gave the wheel card. Mom rejoiced in the excellent assessment of her son, and the father incredible ability to pilot. Parents were concerned only that Fernando tried to squeeze the high-speed from the car, pressing on the gas to the point.

He received his primary education at Santo Angel de la Guarda, where he studied from the age of 4 to 14. After school, a capable young man went to the Leopoldo Alas Clar'n de San L'saro Institute. Teachers remember the shy student only in good words, but regret that he did not finish high school because of his passion for sports.

For the first time the young Spaniard participated in competitions held in his hometown. For three years the boy has developed such talent that he has already confidently overtaken both peers and even teenagers. His first success came as a prodigy at the age of seven, and he won the Asturias Championship, finishing first in eight races.

After such a brilliant victory begins the triumphal procession of Alonso throughout Spain, where he collects all possible awards and cups. No one could resist the talented young man. At the age of 12 he won the Karting Championship of Spain, and the next five years all the victories again belonged to Fernando.

1997 brought the young rider victory in the Spanish inter-A series and the title in Italy. Having shown talent in the international series, was noticed by Andrian Kampas, a former racer but the current manager of the Nissan team. Andrian invited Alonso to his own team and did not lose. The young man, having moved from the map to the race car, immediately proved everything he is capable of.

The young Spaniard has won 6 times out of 9 races in the European Formula-Nissan Championship, becoming the vice-champion. The following year Fernando competes in Formula 3000, where experienced drivers become rivals. Playing for the Astromega team, he is ahead of everyone in the last race and is fourth in the overall standings of the year.

Alonso's Formula One debut took place at Australia's Albert Park in 2001, when the youngster was transferred from test pilot to Minardi. At that moment he was just 19 years old. Talented racer got an outsider car, so to score points and go to the leaders did not work. Against the background of the teammates looked good enough and did not even concede on the efficiency of races Kimi Rakkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya.

The success of the talented pilot did not go unnoticed by the director of the Renault F1 team Flavio Briatore, who appointed him the third driver. The 2002 season does not like to remember, as he has to be a substitute for Jenson Button and Jarno Trulli. But in 2003 the young man was transferred to the main squad, where he reveals the potential and proves that the supporting roles are not interesting. This proves the race in Malaysia and the well-deserved pole, as well as second place in the Spanish race and triumph at Hungaroing in Hungary. The season was finished with 6th place in the individual standings.

The 2004 season, where he was to fight with Ferrari and Michael Schumacher, becomes a serious test for Fernando Alonso. But even here the Spaniard excelled, taking 4th place, scored 59 points. In 2005, the young Spaniard became the king of Formula One, ousting Schumacher, who won the championship five times in a row. The following year (2006) Alonso again took the title of champion, but already at the Brazilian Grand Prix at the end of the season.

In the 2007 season, the Spanish driver played for the McLaren team, which he signed with management back in 2006. This year is the hardest test of willpower and endurance. The fact that the management decided to replace Pedro de la Rosa (team-mate Fernando) on Lewis Hamilton, which was a huge mistake in the strategy. The team faced scandals, intrigues and proceedings, instigated by the newcomer and his father. The case even went to court, which led to the disqualification of McLaren. Photos of meetings and lawsuits flew around the Internet. The team's internal problems greatly hindered Alonso in the races, so, at the end of the year, the Spaniard got only the third place and 109 points.

After the huge scandal, the driver spent the next two seasons in the old Renault team, but could not move beyond the fifth place. Although he showed excellent results at the Singapore Grand Prix and in Japan. However, this year was not without scandal, which now involved Flavio Briatore (team leader), who set up the accident at the Grand Prix. The trial ended with the resignation and lifetime disqualification of the manager.

2010 was marked for the popular Spaniard by moving to Ferrari, who for this purpose prematurely terminated the contract with Kimi Raikkonen. A strong opponent was Sebastian Vettel, who did not miss Alonso on the podium of the champion, earning 4 points more. By the way, At these races the races were constantly watched by Vettel's wife - Hannah Prater. 

A great moment in the career of the Spanish pilot marked the season 2011, when he finished fourth in Singapore. Experts have calculated that this year Fernando got the missing points to 1000, while becoming the second driver in this indicator in the history of Formula One.

The following season, the athlete fiercely competed with Vettel, who again passed at the finish line with a gap of 3 points. The Spaniard was awarded the title of vice-champion. In 2013, the Italian stable again changed, which is very disliked by the leading rider. Now his long-time rival Kimi Raikkonen has returned to the team, but personal dislike did not prevent him from taking 2nd place and scoring 242 points.

2014 was supposed to be quite explosive because of the rivalry between the Finn and the Spaniard, but nothing happened. Fernando Alonso holds the leading position for the whole period and distances his opponent from the title, and he twice takes the prizes. He announces his return to McLaren at the end of the season. As the fans say, this was due to difficult interpersonal relationships inside the stables.

In 2015, the driver was on the bench, as at the test races in Barcelona was in an accident and was hospitalized with a concussion. For the second part of the season Alonso was haunted by constant failures with technique, as a result of which in two races he scored only 11 points and did not advance in the standings. 1 place went to Nico Rosberg at Mercedes AMG, 2 to Lewis Hamilton, and 3 to Daniel Ricardo at Infiniti.

In the 2016 Grand Prix, the Spaniard participated only in the first races, after which he was in an accident and again found himself on the bench. But he managed to beat Jenson Button by 54 points.

The famous Spanish racer prefers not to advertise his personal life, but journalists will find a loophole to find out the details of the biography of the star. As soon as there were rumors that Alonso had an affair with the Russian model Dasha Kapustina, the press rushed to search for supporting facts. Almost immediately discovered The Instagram of Dasha, which is dedicated to the groom (Fernando).

The couple had been in a relationship for three years and broke up on the initiative of a man. A month after breaking up with Kapustina, the handsome man meets model Lara Alvarez. For a couple of years the press diligently tried to "marry" young people, but in 2016 the lover broke off the relationship. The cause of the incident was different views on life and heavy work schedules. Lara's latest photo shows that the finger no longer features an engagement ring.

The driver now lives in Melbourne, where pre-season tests are taking place ahead of the 2017 Grand Prix. He will play for McLaren-Honda this season. 

From the last interview it became known that the rider hopes that in the first race it will rain. The reason is banal - considers his car insufficiently competitive and relies on bad weather.

Height - 1.71 m, weight - 68 kg. He suffers from claustrophobia. He speaks 4 languages: French, Spanish, German, Italian. He lived a civil marriage to singer Raquel del Rosario Masisas for 5 years. In 2012, he tattooed the honor of Hagakure, which is located along the spine. A song about Fernando Alonso appeared in the "Comedy Club"
