Fernando Alonso Díaz (born [July 29, 1981 in Oviedo, Spain) is a Spain Formula One racing driver and reigning, two-time, world champion.

On September 25 2005 he won the List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions title at the age of 24 years and 58 days, thus breaking Emerson Fittipaldi's record of being the youngest F1 champion and is also the youngest double champion. In 2007, he became the second F1 driver, after Michael Schumacher, to score at least 100 points for three consecutive seasons. He is nicknamed . | publisher = | date = 2006 | accessdate = 2007-01-17 | url = http://mas.lne.es/galeria/galeria.php?foto=2958 -->

Personal and early life | language = Spanish | publisher = | date = 2005-11-26 | url = http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/news/story?id=367490 | accessdate = 2007-07-30 -->Alonso has an elder sister, Lorena. Alonso's father José Luis, an amateur kart racer, wanted to pass on his passion to his children. He built a kart, originally meant for eight-year-old Lorena, but unlike her three-year-old brother, she showed no interest in the sport.

Alonso is dating Raquel del Rosario, lead singer of Spanish pop band . Reports that the two married in November 2006 have since been denied.

He currently lives in Oxford, England, and owns a house near Lake Geneva, Switzerland.

Pre-Formula One As a child, Alonso participated in karting competitions around Spain, supported by his father, who also doubled as his mechanic. His family lacked the financial resources needed to develop a career in motorsport, but his victories attracted sponsorship and the required funds. Alonso won four Spanish championships back-to-back in the junior category, between 1993 and 1996 and the Junior World Cup in 1996. He won the Spanish and Italian Inter-A titles in 1997 and in 1998 won the Spanish Inter-A title again as well as finishing second in the European Championship.

Former Minardi F1 driver Adrián Campos gave Alonso his first test in a race car in October 1998. After three days of testing at the Albacete circuit, Alonso had matched the lap times of Campos' previous driver Marc Gené. Campos signed Alonso to race for him in the 1999 Spanish World Series by Nissan series. In his second race, again at Albacete, Alonso won for the first time. He took the championship by one point from championship rival Manuel Giao by winning and setting fastest lap at the last race of the season. Alonso also tested for the Minardi Formula One team, lapping 1.5 seconds faster than the other drivers at the test.

The following season Alonso moved up to Formula 3000, which was often the final step for drivers before ascending to Formula One. Alonso joined Team Astromega and was the youngest driver in the series that year by eleven months. Alonso didn't score a point until the seventh race of the year, but in the final two rounds he took a second place and a victory, enough for him to end the season fourth overall behind Bruno Junqueira, Nicolas Minassian and Mark Webber.

Formula One 2001: Minardi Alonso was the third-youngest driver ever to start a F1 race when he made his debut with Minardi at the 2001 Australian Grand Prix. The team was in its first season under the control of new owner Paul Stoddart and their new car, the PS01, was neither fast nor reliable. However Alonso's qualifying performance was good, at his first race he out-qualified team mate Tarso Marques by 2.6s. At the fourth round at Imola he outqualified both of the Benettons, a feat he repeated later in the season.

Notable performances over the 2001 season had earned him some attention from the faster teams. It was reported in September 2001 by some of the European press that Sauber were looking to replace outgoing Kimi Räikkönen with the Spaniard although he was facing competition for the seat from Felipe Massa and then Jaguar Racing test driver Andre Lotterer. A month later it was confirmed that Massa was going to take the vacant Sauber seat for 2002.

In September, his manager Flavio Briatore had begun planning to place Alonso at Benetton. Briatore considered promoting Alonso for 2002, in place of his race driver Jenson Button, but instead chose to take Alonso on as a full-time test driver for 2002. At the final round of 2001 at 2001 Japanese Grand Prix he finished eleventh — five places outside the points but ahead, on merit, of Heinz-Harald Frentzen’s Prost Grand Prix (with a Scuderia Ferrari engine), the British American Racing-Honda Racing F1 of Olivier Panis, the two Arrows and Alex Yoong (his new team mate). Four years later, his team boss from the Minardi days, Paul Stoddart, described his race as "53 laps of qualifying".

2002–2006: Renault 2002–2003 Alonso became test driver for Renault F1 in 2002 (Renault having taken over the Benetton team) and did 1,642 laps of testing that year. In 2003 Briatore dropped Button and put Alonso in the second seat alongside Jarno Trulli.

The Spaniard became the youngest driver to achieve a Formula One pole position at the 2003 Malaysian Grand Prix. Alonso had a 180mph crash at the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix, the result of missing the double yellow flags and Safety Car boards brought out by Mark Webber's earlier crash and colliding with the debris. The race was red-flagged. He finished second at his home grand prix two races later, and became the youngest driver to win a Formula One race at the 2003 Hungarian Grand Prix. He finished the year sixth in the championship, with 55 points and four podiums.

2004 Formula One team at the 2004 United States Grand Prix.

Alonso remained with Renault for the 2004 Formula One season. In the early part of 2004 questions were asked of Alonso when he was generally out-qualified by teammate Jarno Trulli. However towards the end of the year Trulli's performance deteriorated and he dropped Renault boss Flavio Briatore as his manager. Trulli's relationship with the team deteriorated to the extent that he signed for Toyota F1 from 2005 onwards. Alonso ended the year fourth in the championship standings, scoring 59 points and four podiums.

2005 For the season, Alonso was joined at Renault by highly rated Italian driver Giancarlo Fisichella. At the first race in 2005 Australian Grand Prix Alonso started near the back due to rain in qualifying but fought his way to third. He won the next two races in 2005 Malaysian Grand Prix and 2005 Bahrain Grand Prix from pole position, and took a third win in the 2005 San Marino Grand Prix after a 13-lap battle with Michael Schumacher.

Team McLaren's improving form saw Räikkönen win in 2005 Spanish Grand Prix and 2005 Monaco Grand Prix while Alonso finished second and fourth. Räikkönen was on course to win the 2005 European Grand Prix at the Nürburgring when his car's front-right suspension failed (due to a flat spot on the tyre caused by Räikkönen repeatedly 'locking' it) on the last lap, giving victory to Alonso.

.Alonso failed to score in the 2005 Canadian Grand Prix and 2005 United States Grand Prix Grands Prix. He crashed out of the former, and in the latter all the Michelin runners withdrew due to safety concerns over their tyres.

Alonso took his third pole position and fifth win at the 2005 French Grand Prix. He followed this with pole position a week later at the 2005 British Grand Prix, where he finished a second behind Montoya. McLaren's poor reliability granted another win to Alonso at the 2005 German Grand Prix when Kimi Räikkönen's car suffered hydraulic failure.

He qualified 6th in the 2005 Hungarian Grand Prix but finished 11th after a collision with the Toyota of Ralf Schumacher.

As the season entered its final stages Alonso finished second in three consecutive races, collecting vital championship points. Räikkönen won in 2005 Turkish Grand Prix and 2005 Belgian Grand Prix, but was fourth at 2005 Italian Grand Prix after engine trouble in qualifying, meaning Alonso's lead had been reduced by only one point.

Alonso sealed the title by finishing third in 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix while Montoya won from Räikkönen. The Spaniard became the youngest Drivers' Champion at the age of 24 years and 59 days old, breaking Emerson Fittipaldi's record. He also ended the 5-year dominance of Michael Schumacher.

Commenting on his victory, he said: "I just want to dedicate this championship to my family, and all my close friends who have supported me through my career. Spain is not a country with an F1 culture, and we had to fight alone, every step of the way, to make this happen. A huge thank-you should also go to the team as well — they are the best in Formula One, and we have done this together. It will say that I am world champion, but we are all champions — and they deserve this." In the May 2007 issue of F1 Racing, Alonso said that the 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix was his greatest race. He said, "It was a dream come true and a very emotional day. In the last few laps I leaped, thinking I could hear noises from the engine- from everywhere! But all was okay and I can remember my relief when I crossed the finish line."

The 2005 Japanese Grand Prix and 2005 Chinese Grand Prix Grands Prix saw Alonso and Renault abandon the conservative style evident in Brazil when he was still chasing the drivers' title. Starting from 16th on the grid, he eventually finished third behind Räikkönen and Fisichella. The Chinese Grand Prix saw Renault and Alonso win to claim the first Constructor’s Championship for the Renault F1 team.

In 2005, he was awarded with the Sports Prince of Asturias Awards.

2006 .

Alonso won the first race at 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix, overtaking Michael Schumacher after coming out of the pit lane with 18 laps left, after starting fourth. He qualified seventh at the 2006 Malaysian Grand Prix due to a fueling error but finished second to team mate Giancarlo Fisichella. He won the 2006 Australian Grand Prix after overtaking leader Jenson Button's Honda.

After poor qualifying at 2006 San Marino Grand Prix, Alonso was unable to pass Michael Schumacher in an encounter that echoed their battle the previous year. Schumacher beat Alonso again in the 2006 European Grand Prix after the Spaniard started on pole. But Alonso hit back, becoming the first Spaniard to win his home race on May 14, 2006 in the 2006 Spanish Grand Prix.

He took pole position for the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix after Schumacher was penalised by the stewards for "deliberately his car on the circuit in the last few minutes of qualifying", denying his rivals, Alonso included, the opportunity of recording fastest qualifying lap. Alonso won the race.

He extended his winning streak to four races with victories in 2006 British Grand Prix and 2006 Canadian Grand Prix. Both wins came from pole position, and the British round was his first win, pole and fastest lap treble.

, Alonso took his 6th victory of the year.

Schumacher's fight back began at Indianapolis Motor Speedway where the German won and Alonso was fifth. Schumacher won the 2006 French Grand Prix, with Alonso in second, and the Spaniard was fifth in the 2006 German Grand Prix. That cut Alonso's championship lead to 11 points.

Alonso incurred a penalty for an infraction in practice at the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix which left him 15th on the grid. Schumacher started 11th after receiving a similar penalty. Alonso looked set for an unlikely win as he overtook most of the field, including Schumacher around the outside of turn five, as he showed prowess in the wet conditions. But he crashed out of the race when a wheel nut fell off his car following a pit stop. Schumacher scored one point after Robert Kubica was disqualified.

Alonso finished second in 2006 Turkish Grand Prix, holding back third-placed Schumacher to claim two vital points. But he lost a lot of ground after a controversial 2006 Italian Grand Prix. He suffered a puncture during qualifying that damaged bodywork at the back of his car. He qualified fifth but was later punished by the stewards for impeding Felipe Massa's Ferrari, and he started the race from the 10th position. In the race he rose to third place before an engine failure forced him to withdraw. Schumacher won the Grand Prix and cut Alonso's Championship lead to two points.

At the following round in 2006 Chinese Grand Prix, Alonso took pole position during a wet qualifying session but finished second to Schumacher in the race. The result tied Alonso and Schumacher on points in the drivers championship.

At the 2006 Japanese Grand Prix, the Ferraris of Schumacher and Massa qualified first and second, more than half a second faster than the Renaults in fifth and sixth. But during the race Alonso rose to second and took the win after Schumacher's engine failed. It gave him a ten point advantage over Schumacher, needing only one point from the final round to retain the title.

Second place in the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix on October 22 gave Alonso the championship. With Schumacher finishing fourth, the final difference was 13 points. Alonso thus became the youngest double champion in the sport's history. Renault also clinched the Constructors' Championship with a 5-point gap over Ferrari.

2007–present : McLaren , his first victory for McLaren..

On December 19, 2005, Fernando Alonso announced that he would be moving to McLaren for 2007. His contract with Renault was set to expire on December 31, 2006 However, on December 15, 2006, Alonso was allowed by Flavio Briatore and the Renault F1 Team to test for one day for McLaren in the Circuito Permanente de Jerez circuit, as a result of his successes with Renault. Driving an unbranded McLaren MP4-21 and wearing a plain white helmet and overalls, Alonso completed 95 laps but, due to the car lacking a timer transponder, his lap times could not be fully determined. This test session did not mean that his contract had expired. Lewis Hamilton was chosen as his partner for the season. McLaren are reported to be paying Alonso Pound sterling 20 million (approx $ 39 million c. 2007) in 2007. Alonso debuted with the new McLaren car on January 15, 2007, in the streets of Valencia, Spain. Alonso has recently taken delivery of his company car, the 150 car limited edition Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Alonso described the SLR 722 as the "prettiest car in the world".

On 8 April 2007 in his second race for the team, Fernando secured his first win for McLaren, and the team's first since 2005 with a commanding drive at 2007 Malaysian Grand Prix. A difficult drive at Bahrain's Sakhir circuit on 15 April, saw him finishing 5th behind his rookie team mate who took a podium finish. In the fourth race of the year in Spain his home grand prix he qualified second. He had a first lap crash with Massa which caused some damage to his car and dropped him to fourth. He finished the race third. On May 27 Fernando secured his second victory for McLaren with a dominating performance at 2007 Monaco Grand Prix, scoring pole position, fastest lap and the race win and in the process lapping the entire field up to 3rd position. At the 2007 European Grand Prix he took his third win of the year in a dramatic race affected by intermittent rain showers, overtaking Ferrari's Felipe Massa for the lead with just four laps remaining. After the controversy at the 2007 Hungarian Grand Prix (see below), however, relations between Alonso and his team have declined. It has been reported in the media that he is no longer on speaking terms with Hamilton, and it is speculated that he may leave McLaren at the end of the season. On 7 August 2007 The Times reported that McLaren will let Alonso leave the team at the end of the season if he wishes, two years earlier than his contract allows..

As part of the 2007 Formula One espionage controversy between McLaren and Ferrari, the former were found guilty of breaching the Article 151c of the FIA's sporting regulations but went unpunished due to a lack of evidence. However, following the acquisition of new evidence by the FIA, a new hearing was held on September 13. The new evidence consisted largely of email traffic between Alonso and test driver Pedro de la Rosa. The FIA's World Motor Sport Council report following the hearing stated that Alonso and de la Rosa had obtained and used confidential Ferrari technical data and sporting strategy information from senior McLaren engineer Mike Coughlan via Ferrari employee Nigel Stepney, including during test sessions. Both drivers were spared sanctions in exchange for providing evidence.The relationship between Alonso and the Mclaren team has been said to have deteriorated to neither of them on speaking terms, rumours strengthen that Alonso could jump ship to Ferrari replacing Massa, whose manager was seen talking to the Toyota team on a regular basis. .Alonso is now reportedly set to return to Renault after signing a letter of intent to rejoin the team in 2008, even though he still has a contract with Mclaren until 2009. This would mean that Fernando Alonso could be in breach of his contract with Mclaren-Mercedes and may have to pay the Woking organization the last 2 years of his contract. Before the final (and deciding) race of the 2007 season, Renault F1 boss Flavio Briatore indicated his teams willingness to have Alonso rejoin the team.

Alonso's father José Luis, an amateur kart racer, wanted to pass on his passion to his children. He built a kart, originally meant for eight-year-old Lorena, but unlike her three-year-old brother, she showed no interest in the sport.

Alonso is dating Raquel del Rosario, lead singer of Spanish pop band . Reports that the two married in November 2006 have since been denied.

He currently lives in Oxford, England, and owns a house near Lake Geneva, Switzerland.

Pre-Formula One As a child, Alonso participated in karting competitions around Spain, supported by his father, who also doubled as his mechanic. His family lacked the financial resources needed to develop a career in motorsport, but his victories attracted sponsorship and the required funds. Alonso won four Spanish championships back-to-back in the junior category, between 1993 and 1996 and the Junior World Cup in 1996. He won the Spanish and Italian Inter-A titles in 1997 and in 1998 won the Spanish Inter-A title again as well as finishing second in the European Championship.

Former Minardi F1 driver Adrián Campos gave Alonso his first test in a race car in October 1998. After three days of testing at the Albacete circuit, Alonso had matched the lap times of Campos' previous driver Marc Gené. Campos signed Alonso to race for him in the 1999 Spanish World Series by Nissan series. In his second race, again at Albacete, Alonso won for the first time. He took the championship by one point from championship rival Manuel Giao by winning and setting fastest lap at the last race of the season. Alonso also tested for the Minardi Formula One team, lapping 1.5 seconds faster than the other drivers at the test.

The following season Alonso moved up to Formula 3000, which was often the final step for drivers before ascending to Formula One. Alonso joined Team Astromega and was the youngest driver in the series that year by eleven months. Alonso didn't score a point until the seventh race of the year, but in the final two rounds he took a second place and a victory, enough for him to end the season fourth overall behind Bruno Junqueira, Nicolas Minassian and Mark Webber.

Formula One 2001: Minardi Alonso was the third-youngest driver ever to start a F1 race when he made his debut with Minardi at the 2001 Australian Grand Prix. The team was in its first season under the control of new owner Paul Stoddart and their new car, the PS01, was neither fast nor reliable. However Alonso's qualifying performance was good, at his first race he out-qualified team mate Tarso Marques by 2.6s. At the fourth round at Imola he outqualified both of the Benettons, a feat he repeated later in the season.

Notable performances over the 2001 season had earned him some attention from the faster teams. It was reported in September 2001 by some of the European press that Sauber were looking to replace outgoing Kimi Räikkönen with the Spaniard although he was facing competition for the seat from Felipe Massa and then Jaguar Racing test driver Andre Lotterer. A month later it was confirmed that Massa was going to take the vacant Sauber seat for 2002.

In September, his manager Flavio Briatore had begun planning to place Alonso at Benetton. Briatore considered promoting Alonso for 2002, in place of his race driver Jenson Button, but instead chose to take Alonso on as a full-time test driver for 2002. At the final round of 2001 at 2001 Japanese Grand Prix he finished eleventh — five places outside the points but ahead, on merit, of Heinz-Harald Frentzen’s Prost Grand Prix (with a Scuderia Ferrari engine), the British American Racing-Honda Racing F1 of Olivier Panis, the two Arrows and Alex Yoong (his new team mate). Four years later, his team boss from the Minardi days, Paul Stoddart, described his race as "53 laps of qualifying".

2002–2006: Renault 2002–2003 Alonso became test driver for Renault F1 in 2002 (Renault having taken over the Benetton team) and did 1,642 laps of testing that year. In 2003 Briatore dropped Button and put Alonso in the second seat alongside Jarno Trulli.

The Spaniard became the youngest driver to achieve a Formula One pole position at the 2003 Malaysian Grand Prix. Alonso had a 180mph crash at the 2003 Brazilian Grand Prix, the result of missing the double yellow flags and Safety Car boards brought out by Mark Webber's earlier crash and colliding with the debris. The race was red-flagged. He finished second at his home grand prix two races later, and became the youngest driver to win a Formula One race at the 2003 Hungarian Grand Prix. He finished the year sixth in the championship, with 55 points and four podiums.

2004 Formula One team at the 2004 United States Grand Prix.

Alonso remained with Renault for the 2004 Formula One season. In the early part of 2004 questions were asked of Alonso when he was generally out-qualified by teammate Jarno Trulli. However towards the end of the year Trulli's performance deteriorated and he dropped Renault boss Flavio Briatore as his manager. Trulli's relationship with the team deteriorated to the extent that he signed for Toyota F1 from 2005 onwards. Alonso ended the year fourth in the championship standings, scoring 59 points and four podiums.

2005 For the season, Alonso was joined at Renault by highly rated Italian driver Giancarlo Fisichella. At the first race in 2005 Australian Grand Prix Alonso started near the back due to rain in qualifying but fought his way to third. He won the next two races in 2005 Malaysian Grand Prix and 2005 Bahrain Grand Prix from pole position, and took a third win in the 2005 San Marino Grand Prix after a 13-lap battle with Michael Schumacher.

Team McLaren's improving form saw Räikkönen win in 2005 Spanish Grand Prix and 2005 Monaco Grand Prix while Alonso finished second and fourth. Räikkönen was on course to win the 2005 European Grand Prix at the Nürburgring when his car's front-right suspension failed (due to a flat spot on the tyre caused by Räikkönen repeatedly 'locking' it) on the last lap, giving victory to Alonso.

.Alonso failed to score in the 2005 Canadian Grand Prix and 2005 United States Grand Prix Grands Prix. He crashed out of the former, and in the latter all the Michelin runners withdrew due to safety concerns over their tyres.

Alonso took his third pole position and fifth win at the 2005 French Grand Prix. He followed this with pole position a week later at the 2005 British Grand Prix, where he finished a second behind Montoya. McLaren's poor reliability granted another win to Alonso at the 2005 German Grand Prix when Kimi Räikkönen's car suffered hydraulic failure.

He qualified 6th in the 2005 Hungarian Grand Prix but finished 11th after a collision with the Toyota of Ralf Schumacher.

As the season entered its final stages Alonso finished second in three consecutive races, collecting vital championship points. Räikkönen won in 2005 Turkish Grand Prix and 2005 Belgian Grand Prix, but was fourth at 2005 Italian Grand Prix after engine trouble in qualifying, meaning Alonso's lead had been reduced by only one point.

Alonso sealed the title by finishing third in 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix while Montoya won from Räikkönen. The Spaniard became the youngest Drivers' Champion at the age of 24 years and 59 days old, breaking Emerson Fittipaldi's record. He also ended the 5-year dominance of Michael Schumacher.

Commenting on his victory, he said: "I just want to dedicate this championship to my family, and all my close friends who have supported me through my career. Spain is not a country with an F1 culture, and we had to fight alone, every step of the way, to make this happen. A huge thank-you should also go to the team as well — they are the best in Formula One, and we have done this together. It will say that I am world champion, but we are all champions — and they deserve this." In the May 2007 issue of F1 Racing, Alonso said that the 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix was his greatest race. He said, "It was a dream come true and a very emotional day. In the last few laps I leaped, thinking I could hear noises from the engine- from everywhere! But all was okay and I can remember my relief when I crossed the finish line."

The 2005 Japanese Grand Prix and 2005 Chinese Grand Prix Grands Prix saw Alonso and Renault abandon the conservative style evident in Brazil when he was still chasing the drivers' title. Starting from 16th on the grid, he eventually finished third behind Räikkönen and Fisichella. The Chinese Grand Prix saw Renault and Alonso win to claim the first Constructor’s Championship for the Renault F1 team.

In 2005, he was awarded with the Sports Prince of Asturias Awards.

2006 .

Alonso won the first race at 2006 Bahrain Grand Prix, overtaking Michael Schumacher after coming out of the pit lane with 18 laps left, after starting fourth. He qualified seventh at the 2006 Malaysian Grand Prix due to a fueling error but finished second to team mate Giancarlo Fisichella. He won the 2006 Australian Grand Prix after overtaking leader Jenson Button's Honda.

After poor qualifying at 2006 San Marino Grand Prix, Alonso was unable to pass Michael Schumacher in an encounter that echoed their battle the previous year. Schumacher beat Alonso again in the 2006 European Grand Prix after the Spaniard started on pole. But Alonso hit back, becoming the first Spaniard to win his home race on May 14, 2006 in the 2006 Spanish Grand Prix.

He took pole position for the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix after Schumacher was penalised by the stewards for "deliberately his car on the circuit in the last few minutes of qualifying", denying his rivals, Alonso included, the opportunity of recording fastest qualifying lap. Alonso won the race.

He extended his winning streak to four races with victories in 2006 British Grand Prix and 2006 Canadian Grand Prix. Both wins came from pole position, and the British round was his first win, pole and fastest lap treble.

, Alonso took his 6th victory of the year.

Schumacher's fight back began at Indianapolis Motor Speedway where the German won and Alonso was fifth. Schumacher won the 2006 French Grand Prix, with Alonso in second, and the Spaniard was fifth in the 2006 German Grand Prix. That cut Alonso's championship lead to 11 points.

Alonso incurred a penalty for an infraction in practice at the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix which left him 15th on the grid. Schumacher started 11th after receiving a similar penalty. Alonso looked set for an unlikely win as he overtook most of the field, including Schumacher around the outside of turn five, as he showed prowess in the wet conditions. But he crashed out of the race when a wheel nut fell off his car following a pit stop. Schumacher scored one point after Robert Kubica was disqualified.

Alonso finished second in 2006 Turkish Grand Prix, holding back third-placed Schumacher to claim two vital points. But he lost a lot of ground after a controversial 2006 Italian Grand Prix. He suffered a puncture during qualifying that damaged bodywork at the back of his car. He qualified fifth but was later punished by the stewards for impeding Felipe Massa's Ferrari, and he started the race from the 10th position. In the race he rose to third place before an engine failure forced him to withdraw. Schumacher won the Grand Prix and cut Alonso's Championship lead to two points.

At the following round in 2006 Chinese Grand Prix, Alonso took pole position during a wet qualifying session but finished second to Schumacher in the race. The result tied Alonso and Schumacher on points in the drivers championship.

At the 2006 Japanese Grand Prix, the Ferraris of Schumacher and Massa qualified first and second, more than half a second faster than the Renaults in fifth and sixth. But during the race Alonso rose to second and took the win after Schumacher's engine failed. It gave him a ten point advantage over Schumacher, needing only one point from the final round to retain the title.

Second place in the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix on October 22 gave Alonso the championship. With Schumacher finishing fourth, the final difference was 13 points. Alonso thus became the youngest double champion in the sport's history. Renault also clinched the Constructors' Championship with a 5-point gap over Ferrari.

2007–present : McLaren , his first victory for McLaren..

On December 19, 2005, Fernando Alonso announced that he would be moving to McLaren for 2007. His contract with Renault was set to expire on December 31, 2006 However, on December 15, 2006, Alonso was allowed by Flavio Briatore and the Renault F1 Team to test for one day for McLaren in the Circuito Permanente de Jerez circuit, as a result of his successes with Renault. Driving an unbranded McLaren MP4-21 and wearing a plain white helmet and overalls, Alonso completed 95 laps but, due to the car lacking a timer transponder, his lap times could not be fully determined. This test session did not mean that his contract had expired. Lewis Hamilton was chosen as his partner for the season. McLaren are reported to be paying Alonso Pound sterling 20 million (approx $ 39 million c. 2007) in 2007. Alonso debuted with the new McLaren car on January 15, 2007, in the streets of Valencia, Spain. Alonso has recently taken delivery of his company car, the 150 car limited edition Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. Alonso described the SLR 722 as the "prettiest car in the world".

On 8 April 2007 in his second race for the team, Fernando secured his first win for McLaren, and the team's first since 2005 with a commanding drive at 2007 Malaysian Grand Prix. A difficult drive at Bahrain's Sakhir circuit on 15 April, saw him finishing 5th behind his rookie team mate who took a podium finish. In the fourth race of the year in Spain his home grand prix he qualified second. He had a first lap crash with Massa which caused some damage to his car and dropped him to fourth. He finished the race third. On May 27 Fernando secured his second victory for McLaren with a dominating performance at 2007 Monaco Grand Prix, scoring pole position, fastest lap and the race win and in the process lapping the entire field up to 3rd position. At the 2007 European Grand Prix he took his third win of the year in a dramatic race affected by intermittent rain showers, overtaking Ferrari's Felipe Massa for the lead with just four laps remaining. After the controversy at the 2007 Hungarian Grand Prix (see below), however, relations between Alonso and his team have declined. It has been reported in the media that he is no longer on speaking terms with Hamilton, and it is speculated that he may leave McLaren at the end of the season. On 7 August 2007 The Times reported that McLaren will let Alonso leave the team at the end of the season if he wishes, two years earlier than his contract allows..

As part of the 2007 Formula One espionage controversy between McLaren and Ferrari, the former were found guilty of breaching the Article 151c of the FIA's sporting regulations but went unpunished due to a lack of evidence. However, following the acquisition of new evidence by the FIA, a new hearing was held on September 13. The new evidence consisted largely of email traffic between Alonso and test driver Pedro de la Rosa. The FIA's World Motor Sport Council report following the hearing stated that Alonso and de la Rosa had obtained and used confidential Ferrari technical data and sporting strategy information from senior McLaren engineer Mike Coughlan via Ferrari employee Nigel Stepney, including during test sessions. Both drivers were spared sanctions in exchange for providing evidence.The relationship between Alonso and the Mclaren team has been said to have deteriorated to neither of them on speaking terms, rumours strengthen that Alonso could jump ship to Ferrari replacing Massa, whose manager was seen talking to the Toyota team on a regular basis. .Alonso is now reportedly set to return to Renault after signing a letter of intent to rejoin the team in 2008, even though he still has a contract with Mclaren until 2009. This would mean that Fernando Alonso could be in breach of his contract with Mclaren-Mercedes and may have to pay the Woking organization the last 2 years of his contract. Before the final (and deciding) race of the 2007 season, Renault F1 boss Flavio Briatore indicated his teams willingness to have Alonso rejoin the team.

Controversies

  • At the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix, Alonso was involved in an incident in which he brake tested Red Bull Racing test driver Robert Doornbos in the second free practice session. The Stewards decided that Alonso’s actions were “unnecessary, unacceptable and dangerous”, and awarded him a one second time penalty to be applied to his fastest lap time in each of the qualifying sessions.


  • After a separate incident from the same race, when Michael Schumacher was asked whether he thought Alonso slowed down on purpose so that Schumacher had to pass him under red flags in practice Schumacher replied, "You said that, I didn't."


  • In the 2006 Italian Grand Prix, after stewards ruled Alonso had potentially blocked Felipe Massa in Saturday qualifying and relegated him five places on the starting grid, Alonso stated "I love the sport, love the fans coming here — a lot of them from Spain but I don't consider Formula One like a sport any more".


  • During the aftermath of the 2007 European Grand Prix Alonso accused Felipe Massa of trying to hit him off the track when he passed him around the outside of turn 5 in the wet. The two had a row in front of the cameras immediately before the podium proceedings. Alonso later apologised.


  • In the qualifying for the 2007 Hungarian Grand Prix, while both McLarens were in the pits, Alonso delayed the then provisional pole sitter (and his team mate), Lewis Hamilton, for the few seconds necessary to prevent Hamilton from getting another 'hot lap' in. Alonso then went on to claim pole. McLaren boss Ron Dennis later said that the problems were caused by Hamilton initially disobeying an order to allow Alonso to pass earlier in the session. However, Alonso was subsequently given a five-place grid penalty and his McLaren team were docked the 15 constructors' World Championship points they would have earned in the race.


  • As result of this investigation, it emerged that other people within McLaren, among them Alonso, were aware of Ferrari's confidential information. This information was commented on to Alonso by McLaren test driver Pedro de la Rosa who received information from Coughlan. The email contained text suggesting that Alonso was surprised by the data and doubted its authenticity. According to the "spygate" related email exchanges between Alonso and de la Rosa, it was clear that Alonso knew about Ferrari's pit strategies in the Australian Grand Prix and Bahrain Grand Prix. Alonso finished 2nd and 5th respectively in those races. Ron Dennis told FIA about the case during the Hungaroring GP after allegating that Alonso threatened him to report the team to FIA himself if he wasn't given number one status within the McLaren team.


  • Spanish media outlets have speculated that Alonso has been sabotaged by using incorrect pressure on his tyres on the Japanese Grand Prix and the qualification session for the Chinese Grand Prix, in which he was 668 ms behind Hamilton, a difference never before seen throughout the season, and had made no obvious driving errorshttp://as.com/motor/articulo/automovilismo-sospecha-sabotaje-neumaticos/dasmotfm1/20071007dasdaimot_2/Tes.
