career

Fernando Alonso (large price of the USA 2004)
  • Alonso began its formula 1-Karriere 2001 with Minardi, the weakest running universe at this time. However it could make so some critics attentive with respect paying attention to itself and confirmed a large talent.
  • Thus in the year following on it the boss formula of the 1-Teams von Renault, obligated it Flavio Briatore, and made himto the test driver.
  • 2003 confirmed it to Briatore, which already made Michael Schumacher the world champion, then officially as a driver for Renault. At the side of Jarno Trulli it delivered its first complete season in this year. It already created a small sensation in this first year,by being able to win the Grand Prix of Hungary as up to the today's time of youngest drivers. Thus it broke the record of many years of Bruce McLaren from the year 1959. In addition a large symbol strength in this running had the over roundness probably best formula of the 1-Fahrersall times, Michael Schumacher. But success in this running should not be a Eintagsfliege. Alonso supported its fahrerisches being able with a second place, two third places as well as two poles position. It terminated the season as 6. the driver world championship with 55 points, 22 points moreas its experienced team colleague Jarno Trulli to exhibit could.
  • In the season 2004 Alonso showed continuously good achievements. It reserved the second seat in the Grand Prix by France as well as three further third places. At the end 59 points stood to beech. Thus it became 4. the driver world championshipand it showed again that he had its team colleague Jarno Trulli under control and also in this season improve could.
  • 2005 started Alonso at the side of Giancarlo Fisichella into the new season. Fisichella triumphed also promptly in first running in Australia. Showedthe two Renault - drivers already in impressing manners, to which the new model would be in this year in the situation. In the three following on it running in Malaysia, Bahrain and San Marino triumphed to Fernando Alonso and had at this time already a comfortable projection/lead.In the center of the season it turned out that its only serious opponent would be in this season Kimi Räikkönen in the gradually more strongly becoming McLaren Mercedes. Alonso deliberated itself now to score continuously. It made practically no driving errors and also the car kept itself considerablewithout defects. Even if Kimi Räikkönen could decide now some a running for itself, Alonsos was title at no time in danger, since Räikkönen could make never many points good despite its victories. To 25. September 2005 still secured itself Alonso in Brazil before season end its1. WM-title, with 133 points and 7 victories and is the up to then recent formula 1 - world champion of all times.

Alonso is also the first Spanish world champion of the formula 1-Geschichte,a fact, which increased the interest of its Spanish compatriots in the formula 1 enormously. Further it created something, that many other drivers before it had failed grandios: Alonso fallow after 5 sequential WM-titles of Michael Schumacher its over years persisting over-crept for the time being seeming dominance.Due to its still young age, its unbelievable peace and amazing clarifyingness as well as its intelligent driving fashion the Spaniard still another very successful career is forecast.
