It is evident that two-time world champion Fernando Alonso is not having a merry time on his return to F1. He is struggling to find his feet in the Alpine car, and 2016 champion Nico Rosberg can see that. “The Alpine is a difficult car to drive and Alonso is not enjoying it,” said the German. ROSBERG COMPARES THE RETURN OF FERNANDO ALONSO WITH THAT OF SCHUMACHER The German even makes a comparison between Fernando Alonso’s return with that of Michael Schumacher [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/mick-schumacher/]. During his time at Silver Arrows, Rosberg and Michael Schumacher used to share the same team after the latter’s first retirement with Ferrari.

(Photo by Peter Fox/Getty Images) “It is a long road for Fernando. Sometimes, he leaves flashes, like Michael Schumacher when I was his partner in Mercedes. It is difficult for him because of his age,” said [https://amp.marca.com/motor/formula1/gp-azerbaiyan/2021/05/31/60b4988346163ff2868b45df.html?__twitter_impression=true] Nico.

He spent two years out of the sport, and re-adjusting to the super fast pace of the F1 world can take some time. “Fernando is experiencing the same thing as Michael. He has been two years out and it will take a little while for him to be at full capacity again,” he said. Currently at P13 on the drivers’ standings with just five points, Alonso [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/] is a shadow of his old self. Can the two-time champion find his old form soon with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix right around the corner? Let us know what you think!

<h2><strong>Fernando Alonso 2022: </strong><strong>Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Fernando Alonso has been established as one of the best drivers of his generation. The Spaniard is one driver who should never be underestimated. Even in a car that was not up to the mark, he would wring out every ounce of performance and put it in places where it should not be.

He made his debut in 2001 driving for Minardi. It was also the same year that <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kimi-raikkonen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kimi Raikkonen</a> made his debut. In 2002, he joined forces with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/renault/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Renault</a> in the capacity of a test driver before graduating to a race seat in 2003.

After winning two back-to-back championships, he moved to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">McLaren</a>. However, he returned to Renault a year later. In 2010, he joined <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ferrari</a> and raced for them until 2014. Finally, he returned to McLaren in 2015 and stayed with them until his retirement in 2018.

Shortly after retiring, Fernando Alonso and NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb0pTpqGkpU" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">swapped rides</a> as part of a special one-off event. The double World Champion drove Johnson's Chevrolet Camaro by Hendrick Motorsports while Johnson took to the wheel of Alonso's 2018 McLaren F1 car.

However, Alonso's 'retirement' from Formula 1 didn't last very long. In July 2020, Alonso announced his return to the pinnacle of motorsport with Renault turned Alpine in 2021. Coming full circle, Alonso rejoined the French team, having completed 2 previous stints with the Enstone outfit.

The Spaniard partnered Esteban Ocon at the Renault-powered Alpine Racing over the 2021 season. Alonso went on to clinch his first podium in years at the inaugural Qatar Grand Prix.

He will stay with the team until the end of 2022 while his teammate extended his stay until the end of 2024.

<h2><strong>Fernando Alonso: Stats and On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
Fernando Alonso is a double-World Champion with the Renault F1 team. His maiden podium came in 2003 in what was just his second race for Renault at the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Later that year, the maiden win would follow at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Grand_Prix" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hungarian Grand Prix</a>. He bagged a few more podiums in 2004. And in 2005, he wrestled the championship away from<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Michael Schumacher</a>. That year, he won by a hefty 21 points ahead of Kimi Raikkonen, and Michael Schumacher was held off by a 60-point void.

2006 was a bit closer between him and Michael, with 13 points separating them. In 2007, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lewis Hamilton</a> happened, and it was a tumultuous year for Alonso and his new team, McLaren.

Beyond that year, the win well gradually began to dry up for the Spaniard. He only picked up 13 wins across 10 years. The 2013 Spanish Grand Prix was his last win for Ferrari and in Formula One.

In an F1 career spanning 17 years, Alonso started 322 Grand Prix, winning 32 races and clinching 97 podiums in the process. He also racked up 1937 points.

It's no secret that Alonso is aiming for the 'triple crown' in motorsport. The triple crown involves winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Monaco Grand Prix, and the Indianapolis 500.

Alonso has triumphed in Monaco and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Spaniard is keen to add another feather to his cap with a win at the Indy500.

Sadly, he's been unlucky so far. In his first attempt in 2017, Alonso retired from the race, having led the race for a commendable 27 laps. In 2019, Alonso failed to qualify for the event following a series of issues, which weren't entirely of his own making. He competed in the 2020 event with Arrow McLaren SP but hardly made an impression as he qualified P26 and reached home in P21.
