Two-time F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso claims to be the driver who formed a link between the older and newer Formula 1 fans. He also stated that his performance with Aston Martin in 2023 drew more people towards him, who previously only heard him in stories.
The Spaniard is the oldest driver on the grid, both age and experience-wise. He debuted with Minardi in 2001 and after a short sabbatical has continued to race. His 2023 campaign with Aston Martin showcased that he still has the fuel and capabilities to challenge others for victory.
With his amazing skillset and magnetic personality, Fernando Alonso has gained fans all through the years. He stated that his fan following is a mix between the old and the new generation.
