21-year-old Fernando has a very impressive racing history, the new Renault
driver taking the Spanish Karting title at the age of thirteen. His
determination to succeed only increased after taking this sweet victory and
two years later he took the title again as well as becoming the World Karting
Champion.
This obviously talented Spanish youngster has been highly sought after in the
world of Formula One as his achievements speak for themselves. His third
Spanish Karting title came in 1997, making it three in four years. Form there
he became the runner up in the European Kart championship before taking the
Euro Open Championship for Nissan in 1999.
In the 2000 season Fernando undertook testing duties for the Minardi outfit
while competing in the Formula 3000 Championship. During his year in this
series, the young Spaniard caught the attention of high profile teams such as
Ferrari and Benetton. He competed for team Astromega and his season
highlights included a sixth in Austria, second Hungary, and a win in Belgium.
Combined, these results saw him finish sixth overall in the final
championship standings.
He progressed to the pinnacle of Motorsports in 2001 where he partnered thee
more experienced Tarso Marques for the European Minardi team, making his
debut in Melbourne. Some impressive performances soon followed but he opted
to sit out active competition in 2002 and concentrate on testing duties for
Renault.
Following his season testing with Renault, Alonso got his big chance a year
later making his debut with the team as a race driver and taking his first
win in Formula One at the Hungarian Grand Prix just a few month later and
finishing a strong sixth in the drivers' standings.
2004 started well enough with third position in Australia but Alonso then had
to wait until mid-season to gain his second podium position with a fine
second place at Magny Cours. Back to back podiums followed in Hockenheim and
Hungary, but Alonso was unable to win a race in 2004.
It was a rather mixed season for Alonso, but given better equipment, Alonso
will always be a factor for the victory if he can only iron out those
unnecessary mistakes that cost him dear at Monaco and Monza.
