According to Marca and Motorsport.com, the Red Bull [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/] team are eyeing Fernando Alonso for their team. They believe that the Spaniard has made himself available for a return to Formula 1 next year. In spite of stepping away from F1 earlier this year, sources claim that Alonso is in touch with Red Bull. This revelation comes on the back of rumours that Max Verstappen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/] might leave and the poor performances of Pierre Gasly [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pierre-gasly/] is making them desperate. “Alonso’s representatives have let us know that he is available,” Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko revealed to the Dutch branch of Motorsport.com, “But for Honda, Alonso is something impossible.” It is not surprising to learn that Fernando Alonso is unlikely to return to McLaren Renault [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/renault/], or any Honda-powered team. In fact, McLaren [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/] recently announced that they will retain Carlos Sainz [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/carlos-sainz/] and Lando Norris [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lando-norris/] for 2020. [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Fernando-Alonso-Barcelona-F1-Test-26-Februar-2019-articleDetail-812ec36-1431557.jpg] The Spaniard is also keenly following the news surrounding Sebastian Vettel. To be precise, the rumours of his retirement or a potential move back to Red Bull. This offer from Alonso to Red Bull is strange considering the controversy between Alonso and Red Bull boss Christian Horner [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Horner]. Alonso claimed that Red Bull offered him a chance to replace Daniel Ricciardo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/]. “I said no to offers, including one from Red Bull, because the projects weren’t winning ones,” Alonso said last September. “My goals are no longer in Formula 1 at this point. I made my decision two months ago and I’m happy.” “There hasn’t been any confusion, I was disappointed with his comments in the summer about my way of working and my character.” “He never worked with me and I don’t think the people who have will say they’ve had any problems. It was strange to read this from someone who has never worked with me and has also tried to hire me several times in my career.” Red Bull [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1022.6666666666666x767__origin__0x0_Christian_Horner1-700x367.jpg]Christian Horner 

If rumours are to be believed, Formula One has not seen the last of Fernando

<h2>Red Bull: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers, and Car Updates</h2>
The Red Bull team made their official F1 debut back in 2005. However, the origin of the team themselves can be traced back to 1997. At that time, they were known as the Stewart Racing team, a team owned by F1 legend and triple World Champion, Sir Jackie Stewart.

[caption id="attachment_495654" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-495654" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201229114122/2020-12-13T134329Z_1480797127_UP1EGCD124HZO_RTRMADP_3_MOTOR-F1-ABUDHABI.jpg" alt="Red Bull's Max Verstappen leading the pack during the 2020 Abu Dhabi GP" width="1920" height="1120" /> Formula One F1 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix - Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates - Red Bull's Max Verstappen in action during the race Pool via REUTERS/Giuseppe Cacace[/caption]

He sold the team to the American company, Ford, who rebranded the team to Jaguar Racing. The iconic British manufacturer would race in the sport until the end of the 2004 season. In the following year, Red Bull took up the reins. Though they were, at best, a midfield team in their early days, in 2009, the dynamic shifted completely.

Red Bull?s drivers for the 2021 season are <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/">Max Verstappen</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sergio-perez/">Sergio Perez</a>. Perez takes the seat from Alex Albon, who is the new test driver for the team.
<h2><strong>Red Bull: On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
They enjoyed a fairly strong start to their debut season when David Coulthard finished fourth in Australia. A year later, he bagged a maiden podium at the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix. A few more intermittent podiums followed until 2009, when the team bagged their first win, courtesy of Sebastian Vettel.

That year, the team amassed six wins and finished second in the Championship. Then came the magnum opus, four Drivers' and Constructors' titles on the trot, all thanks to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/">Sebastian Vettel</a>.

Red Bull's dominant run in F1 ended with the introduction of the turbo-hybrid era in Formula 1. While the team still clinch the odd pole or win, they are yet to replicate their supremacy from the early 2010s.

As of September 2020, the team had 64 race wins, 182 podiums, and four Drivers' and Constructors' Championships in F1. The team has entered 304 races and amassed over a massive tally of 5043.5 points.
<h2>Does Red Bull have two F1 teams?</h2>
Part of what makes Red Bull such a unique F1 entity is their connection to Scuderia AlphaTauri. AlphaTauri, formerly known as Toro Rosso, is the Austrian outfit's Italian sister team.

Red Bull Racing doesn't necessarily 'own' AlphaTauri. Technically, both teams are owned by the famed drinks company - Red Bull GmbH. The Austrian company's founder - Dietrich Mateschitz, purchased Red Bull (formerly known as Jaguar), followed by Toro Rosso (formerly known as Minardi), as part of a collaboration with former F1 driver Gerhard Berger.

Unofficially, AlphaTauri functions as a proving ground for Red Bull's younger drivers who have the potential to step up and drive for Red Bull Racing.
<h2>How much did Red Bull spend on F1?</h2>
According to <a href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/01/02/the-cost-of-f1-2019-part-two-what-the-top-teams-spent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reports</a>, the team spent $335 million in their F1 ventures for the 2019 season.
<h2>How much does Red Bull earn from F1?</h2>
As a reward for its efforts, the Milton-Keynes based outfit received approximately <a href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/01/02/the-cost-of-f1-2019-part-two-what-the-top-teams-spent/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">$335 million</a> in prize money for the 2019 season. The Austrian outfit did not report a healthy profit, but thankfully, it wasn't a loss.

The FOM split from the $335 million is reportedly $150 million (including bonuses).
<h2>What does Aston Martin do for Red Bull?</h2>
In late 2017, the team announced Aston Martin as the team's title sponsor as part of a technical partnership. The Milton-Keynes outfit have worked in close collaboration with Aston Martin to produce the hyper-car, Valkyrie.

<em>"The relationship between Aston Martin and The Team began in 2016 after the two companies combined cutting edge F1 technology and Aston Martin's signature sports car design to produce a ground breaking hypercar,"</em> reads a <a href="https://www.redbull.com/int-en/redbullracing/driving-future-innovation" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">statement</a> from Red Bull.

In early 2020, the team announced that they would be ending their title partnership with Aston Martin following the 2020 F1 season. However, the Austrian outfit will work with the British manufacturer in delivering its hyper-car collaboration.
<h2>Who owns Red Bull Racing?</h2>
The F1 team are owned by the parent company and famed drinks brand- Red Bull GmbH. Red Bull was founded by Dietrich Mateschitz and Chaleo Yoovidhya. Currently, Mateschitz and Chalerm Yoovidhya own the brand.
<h2><strong>Red Bull?s Sponsors</strong></h2>
The team's title sponsor for 2020 is British car manufacturer, Aston Martin. Team partners <a href="https://www.redbull.com/int-en/redbullracing/partners" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">include</a> Rauch, Puma, Tag Heuer, W66, DITA, Pirelli, MyWorld, Piquadro, Iris, and AlphaTauri.

<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.

His annual salary in his final F1 season with McLaren <a href="https://www.forbes.com/profile/fernando-alonso/#4e1ee7534406" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">was a whopping $33 million</a>. Despite staying away from F1 for 2 whole seasons, he received a king's welcome at Alpine, as the Spaniard enjoyed a salary of $25M in 2021, which also rated him as the <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brettknight/2021/07/22/formula-1-highest-paid-drivers-hamilton-verstappen/?sh=47a3a6fe1182" target="_blank" rel="noopener">third highest-paid driver</a> on the grid. As of 2022, Alonso will earn $20M per year and is likely to extend his Alpine F1 contract at least until the end of 2023.

He won the Sports Prince of Asturias Award in 2005.
<h2><strong>Fernando Alonso: Endorsements</strong></h2>
He was 39th on the Forbes list of Highest-Paid Athletes in 2018. He received around $1 million in endorsements and a salary of $33 million. Fernando Alonso often sports cool sunglasses, which are made by his own fashion brand- Kimoa, a brand that he is sponsored by.

Fernando Alonso

Formula One F1 &#8211; Qatar Grand Prix &#8211; Losail International Circuit, Lusail, Qatar &#8211; November 21, 2021 Third placed Alpine&#8217;s Fernando Alonso celebrates on the podium with champagne REUTERS/Thaier Al-Sudani Fernando Alonso 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements 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 Kimi Raikkonen made his debut. In 2002, he joined forces with Renault 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 McLaren. However, he returned to Renault a year later. In 2010, he joined Ferrari 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 swapped rides as part of a special one-off event. The double World Champion drove Johnson&#8217;s Chevrolet Camaro by Hendrick Motorsports while Johnson took to the wheel of Alonso&#8217;s 2018 McLaren F1 car. However, Alonso&#8217;s &#8216;retirement&#8217; from Formula 1 didn&#8217;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. READ MORE- Who Has Fernando Alonso Dated? A List of His Girlfriends From the Past Fernando Alonso: Stats and On-track Achievements 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 Hungarian Grand Prix. He bagged a few more podiums in 2004. And in 2005, he wrestled the championship away from Michael Schumacher. 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, Lewis Hamilton 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&#8217;s no secret that Alonso is aiming for the &#8216;triple crown&#8217; 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&#8217;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&#8217;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.

As of 2022, Alonso will earn $20M per year and is likely to extend his Alpine F1 contract at least until the end of 2023. He won the Sports Prince of Asturias Award in 2005.
