He managed to capture three consecutive karting titles in his home country from '94 to '97 and also managed to clinch the World Karting title in 1996. Alonso made his F1 debut with Minardi in 2001 and joined Renault one year later as a test driver. He earned a race seat in 2003 and with the French outfit, Alonso was able to win two F1 World titles in 2005 and 2006. The Spaniard decided to race for McLaren in 2007, but returned to the Renault team a year later. After two difficult seasons with the Enstone-based outfit, he joined Ferrari in 2010.
