At the ripe old age of 42, Fernando Alonso still stands as one of the best Formula 1 drivers on the grid – and of all time, of course. He is the most-tenured F1 driver of all time, having participated in 377 races over his (as of now) 20 seasons at the pinnacle of motorsport. He is also one of the most successful F1 drivers of all time, with his 32 wins proving enough for 7th place in the all-time wins list. His two world titles (with Renault in 2005-06) put him joint fifth on the all-time championship wins list.

Some would argue that he maybe should have won a few more, with notable examples being 2010 and 2012, when he narrowly finished second to Sebastian Vettel. 2007 is another example, where he finished just one point (albeit level on points with teammate Lewis Hamilton) behind the champion – Kimi Raikkonen. One thing anyone can’t argue against is that he is a legend of the sport. In 2017, he ‘retired’ from F1, but soon came back.

Even after his Formula 1 comeback with Alpine, he has continued to raise eyebrows. 2021 was good, and 2022 was even better – with the points tally not reflecting what could have been. A common theme in his career. In the time that he has left, he will be looking to notch up that third world title, now with Aston Martin. There are still a few ‘chapters’ left. The Spanish driver achieved multiple podiums with his new team this season.

Apart from Formula 1, Fernando Alonso has also won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 2018 and 2019 and the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2018-19, all with Toyota Gazoo Racing. The legend of Fernando Alonso continues to grow, and his net worth reflects that legend – on-track success translates to financial success. This article delves into Fernando Alonso’s net worth, F1 salary, endorsements, and much more.
