What are Fernando Alonso’s sources of income?

Fernando Alonso's income is derived from his career in motorsport racing, particularly F1. Endorsements, sponsorships, and business ventures also add to his wealth. Starting at 17, he made his car racing debut in the 1999 Euro Open by Nissan with Campos Motorsport. The young talent won the championship with six victories and nine pole positions. A year later, he made it to the International Formula 3000 Championship with Team Astromega.

In 2001, he joined the Minardi race team in Formula One. Despite being in a non-competitive car, he managed a tenth-place finish at the German Grand Prix. The following year, he became Renault's test driver, working to improve the team's performance. Later, he earned a race seat with Renault and made history by becoming the youngest driver to win a pole position at the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Alonso then secured victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix, breaking Bruce McLaren's record as the youngest F1 race winner. Continuing with Renault in 2004, Alonso finished fourth in the World Drivers' Championship with 59 points.

Renewing his contract with Renault in 2006, Alonso went on to win his second consecutive World Drivers' Championship, making him F1's youngest double World Champion. He later made a controversial move to McLaren, entering into a three-year contract. Despite winning four Grand Prix races, tensions with teammate Lewis Hamilton and internal team issues led to a tumultuous season.

The following years saw Alonso's return to Renault, a brief stint with Ferrari, and then back to McLaren. However, in 2015, he faced difficulties with McLaren's underpowered Honda engine. His frustration with the team's performance led to a departure from F1 at the end of the 2018 season.

He also ventured into endurance racing and competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship with Toyota, winning the championship in the 2018–2019 season.

In 2021, Alonso returned to F1 with Alpine, formerly Renault. He achieved podium finishes at the Qatar and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix and secured a podium at the Australian Grand Prix. In 2023, he joined Aston Martin, performing well at the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix. Besides, he was seen participating in the Dakar Rally in 2020 with Toyota.
