Fernando Alonso

Fernando Alonso is Spain's most decorated driver with two Formula One world championships. In 2005, he became the youngest champion at 24, breaking Michael Schumacher's streak. Over 32 race wins, a record for any Spanish driver, he demonstrated longevity unmatched in F1, competing at a top level for 19 seasons. Alonso is faster than the average F1 champion in terms of career wins per season, averaging 1.7, a mark that surpasses #7-ranked Iker Casillas's clean-sheet ratio relative to his era. His 2012 season, where he pushed a slower Ferrari to a title fight with 3 wins, showed his ability to extract performance beyond the car's capability.
