Fernando Alonso’s love of racing stems back to when he first rode a go-kart made by his father when he was three years old. Since then, he competed in karting competitions and won his first race in 1996. Alonso celebrated a streak of wins at the age of eighteen when he raced in the Euro Open by Nissan in 1999, which led him to hone his skills in Formula 3000 in 2000 and then Formula 1 the following year.
In 2022, Aston Martin announced that Alsonso would be joining their team of racers in 2023, with the racecar driver signing a multi-year deal with the company. “This Aston Martin team is clearly applying the energy and commitment to win, and it is, therefore, one of the most exciting teams in Formula One today,” the Spanish driver stated on their website. “No one in Formula One today is demonstrating a greater vision and absolute commitment to winning, and that makes it a really exciting opportunity for me,” he continued.

Alonso’s passion for racing is apparent and when asked about Taylor Swift, he preferred to focus on his professional life. “I usually keep my personal and professional life apart. I prefer not to comment on it,” he stated to Marca, (via the Mirror). If he is indeed dating Swift, the two share something in common, as Alonso has also dealt with a very recent breakup of his own.
