Fernando Alonso - The Spanish Knight

F1 Fan Awards 2015 Winning Video
I still remember the first races of Fernando Alonso, there was something special about that Spanish guy driving that terribly slow black and white Minardi back in 2001, Flavio Briatore saw that as well and took him under his wings which ended with winning two championships in 2005 and 2006. It wasn't always good around him, also he has some flaws and some moments he would rather forget but no matter what, his talent can't be overlooked. When he decided to join Ferrari back in 2010, he joined the team hoping in doing something similar to what Michael Schumacher did with Ferrari. To make the team to work around him and to win many championships together. His biggest chance came in 2010, but a bad strategy call made it way too difficult and the first disappointment. But it was his first season with the team, not a bad start as all. The second chance came in 2012. Did he have a chance? Not at all with that car but he has matured a lot and he is definitely one of the best drivers on the grid, probably the best one, when others can pull 105% from the car, he can do 120%. This tribute is about his stint with Ferrari and it's a tribute to the Spanish knight, who made Tifosi happy against the odds, what he did was a magic, pure magic. He took 11 wins and 44 podiums with Ferrari and he is one of the best drivers Ferrari ever had, but it wasn't his destiny to tame the prancing horse. And now he's going for another challenge.
Happy new year everyone!

Formula 1 is a world of glamour, passion and excitement. With some incredible stories and tales, many of which have good endings but there are even some sad ones. Only the best of the best can drive those beasts around all the challenging tracks in the world - from Monaco to Suzuka. Legends like Fangio, Clark, Stewart, Lauda, Prost, Senna, Schumacher and Hamilton... just hearing these names gives you "goosebumps"! And only true fans can understand why we sit in front of our TVs from March until November and watch the greatest drivers in the world chasing that championship trophy. It's a long journey, but only a few can achieve their dreams.
Formula 1 is also my big passion. I have followed this sport for more than 20 years. While we may never understand feelings of racing drivers, we, fans, have some special feelings too, when we see our favourites succeeding. And that is something hard to describe as well. Then comes "When Words Are Not Enough" as I try to share my passion and represent all the emotions to you, the fans. To never forget those special moments. Thank you, everyone, for your great support. I'm doing those videos only for you, and it's a pleasure.
