3️⃣ THE LEAP TO SINGLE-SEATER RACING

In 1998 #AdriánCampos gave him his first opportunity in a race car

Then came Formula 3000 and #Minardi

In 2001, at 19 years old, he made his #Formula1 debut in #Australia

In #Suzuka, #PaulStoddart went so far as to describe his race as "53 laps of qualifying"

So #FernandoAlonso stays on the #F1 grid for another year.

He made his debut in 2001 with #Minardi and hasn't raced in #Formula1 in the years 2002, 2019 and 2020 but in all those years, he has raced against 122 different drivers.
How many do you know ?
