Fernando Alonso 2027: one of the grid's great veterans

Fernando Alonso is Spanish, born in 1981, and debuted in Formula 1 in 2001. He won the world title in 2005 and 2006, and few drivers can match his length of career or his popularity with fans.

Seeing him on track is often described as a link between eras. In 2027 he will still be racing, and for Spanish supporters his presence at the home race is a major draw.
