About

Fernando Alonso is a two-time world champion, the most experienced driver in Formula 1 history, and still, in his forties, one of the sharpest racing minds on the grid. Racecraft is his art form.

His 2026 season with Aston Martin has been a hard one, five points in a car that has rarely given him a weapon. Eighteenth in the standings, and still the last driver anyone wants in their mirrors when the rain arrives.
