Bonus episode: Fernando Alonso - the god of mischief
Manage episode 363884959 series 3449923
*First of, our hearts go out to everyone affected in the Emilia Romagna region.*
Join us for an Eras tour of Alonso's epic life on and off track!
We start with Alonso's humble, uber competitive beginnings. That set the stage for his ascendence as the god of mischief, the Loki of Northern Spain. That somehow unfolds into a $1m Japanese Samurai inspired luxury watch.
Next, we try to summarize 20 years and 2 (5?) championships in a matter of minutes. That includes many records, his rivalries with Schumacher, Hamilton & Vettel, and the curse of Alonso which he's finally broken with his Saturn's return a la Aston Martin.
The rabbit hole continues with his role in F1's two biggest scandals. Note: his net worth is almost at par to the amount of fines he has generated in the sport.
Finally, what's his secret to making 40 the new 20? That may include his spicy life off track including philanthropy (to the Fernando Alonso museum) and a stacked dating history that further intertwines him with Lewis Hamilton and Cristiano Ronaldo.
That and more on this bonus Fernando Alonso episode!
