But at the end, he lost by Felipe Massa who ultimately was appointed as a Sauber driver for the 2002 season.  Shortly afterwards, a great talent and then wafted by Fernando Alonso of Renault F1 Flavio Briatore. He then immediately sign him as a test driver in 2002, and will be given the opportunity to race if the performance is satisfactory during a test driver.

2002-2006: Renault F1

Building a team

Fernando Alonso became the official Renault test driver (recently acquired Renault Formula Benetton team in 2001) in the 2002 season and spent about 1642 laps throughout the season. He believes the talent and good looks, Flavio will fulfill its promise in the 2003 season. Entering the mid-2002, Alonso and then began to feel uncomfortable, because the promised Flavio racing seats had not arrived. As an alternative, he then tested the Jaguar Racing team chair test. But the Jaguars were in doubt with the performance of Fernando who was normal. Until finally coming savior, Jenson Button who was with Renault and throughout 2002 appear extraordinary, surprisingly sacked by Flavio and then he signed a contract with BAR-Honda team for the 2003 season. Shortly after that, Flavio Briatore and then fulfill his promise to give Alonso the chance to race in the 2003 season with Renault.

In the 2003 season, Fernando Alonso finally climbed back into the grid as a racing driver Jarno Trulli in pairs together. Before the season goes, many people who scoff Alonso and Briatore. Briatore in particular, he is much despised by the paddock on the grounds that the election of Alonso as a driver for the 2003 season is doubtful, given in 2001 alone Alonso appeared normal. Flavio had another opinion however, he argues:

"If we see the appearance of Fernando Alonso, we will be reminded of the appearance of Michael Schumacher when he was young, and even then, he got a lot of derision from the fans, because a very young age. And I'm sure, Alonso, Schumacher would like someday. "

Flavio spiel began proven in Malaysia GP 2003. With a body condition with a fever, and nose with flu, Fernando Alonso took pole position by surprise. With these results, Alonso became the youngest F1 driver in history to be able to grab pole position, precisely  age of 21 years, seven months and 23 days. Breaking the previous record in the name of Rubens Barrichello, and then broken again by Sebastian Vettel in Italian GP 2008. The next day when the race took place, Alonso managed to finish in P3, and back again posted a record as the youngest winner of the podium in F1 history. On it sat Kimi Räikkönen and Rubens Barrichello.

Most historic moment was when Fernando down in the Spanish GP. By exploiting the presence of the safety car, Fernando shot and finished second behind Michael Schumacher. The climax was when Fernando won in Hungary. Again and again he broke the record, this time she appeared as the youngest driver ever to win the Formula 1 Grand Prix to replace the name of Troy Ruttman. Fernando Alonso recorded history in the age of 22 years in Hungary was 26 days (before it was again resolved by Sebastian Vettel in Italy in 2008 ). And most memorable, Alonso won by a margin of 16 seconds from Kimi Räikkönen-great racer with a car that is considered more powerful as well. P5 Alonso managed to finish in the final standings in the 2003 season, which stood at 55 points.

In contrast to the brilliant season in 2003, in 2004 Fernando Alonso slightly lean times. He really had to look good while at the Australian Grand Prix by becoming the only rider capable of finishing in under a minute behind the two Ferrari (Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello) , but in many races Alonso lost a lot of points. One is the time in Monaco, where he grazed the wall as a result of accidents. , and also in Indianapolis, where he grazed the wall again, and should go home empty-handed.  Lastly, Alonso suffered misfortune is when he must stop when the lead of Belgium, due to valve problems on his car oil. Then in the final three races, Fernando getting a new teammate, former F1 world champion 1997, Jacques Villeneuve, drawn by Renault for three races only (before he was hired by the Sauber-Petronas ), to replace Jarno Trulli who move to the Toyota team. At the end of the season, a lot of speculation that settle to Fernando Alonso. One of them, he will immediately move to the Scuderia Ferrari to replace Michael Schumacher in 2006. But Fernando deny these rumors.

Being a world champion

Alonso's fortunes began to change in the 2005 season. He started the season very well when winning in Malaysia. Many have said that the victory of Alonso's race was an accident because the teams McLaren and Ferrari are still struggling to find a good car settings. But the victory at San Marino change this. Fernando Alonso managed to withstand the onslaught of Michael Schumacher during the last 20 laps and at once came out as champions. His luck changed drastically, because he then entered as a world champion candidate. Throughout the 2005 season, Fernando Alonso won in Malaysia, Bahrain, San Marino, Europe, France, Germany, and China. Special to victory in Europe and Germany, Fernando seemed to be grateful to Kimi Räikkönen. Because in Europe (Nurburgring), Kimi was the pleasure of leading a tragic accident on the last lap, right where Fernando was behind (P2). The same case occurred in Germany, where Kimi strike also when he led the race.

Fernando Alonso's first lock his world title in Brazil on 25 September. Although McLaren-Mercedes by Juan Pablo Montoya and Kimi Räikkönen master race, Fernando Alonso appeared neatly and safely. In the age of 24 years and 58 days, he listed himself as the youngest F1 world champion in history, breaking the previous record on behalf of Emerson Fittipaldi (age 25 years and 272 days) in 1972, and before then solved by Lewis Hamilton in the 2008 season. Renault team even more happy because in China they also confirm themselves as world champion constructors.

In December 2005, Fernando Alonso, a surprise move announced himself to the McLaren-Mercedes team began the 2007 season , with the three-year contract duration. The goal he moved solely to seek new challenges. Even so, Fernando will still appear to focus on the 2006 season to defend his champion.

In the 2006 season, the opponent Fernando Alonso is "The Old King", Michael Schumacher. Chases points between Alonso and Schumacher in the 2006 season very interesting. Schumacher was behind 20 points from Alonso, but is surprisingly capable of equating the last two races. Unfortunately hopes to be world champion Schumacher eighth time vanished due to the explosion of the engine in a Ferrari 248F1 GP Japan, where Fernando Alonso became the champion. Entering the Brazilian Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso was able to appear relaxed, because he only took one point only to remain a world champion. If Schumacher wins in Brazil, and Fernando Alonso came home with zero points, the story would side with Schumacher. Because in 2006 Schumacher was the most wins the race. And according to FIA regulations, the most victorious drivers was, if the point equal to the second rank, are entitled to become world champion. Alonso then finished second behind Felipe Massa in Brazil. But strangely, the news his victory as world champion in 2006 was not as big as he was champion in 2005. At that time, the press is more to capture the moment when Michael Schumacher had his last race in Formula 1.

After the race, Michael Schumacher, Kimi Räikkönen and Fernando Alonso started the exchange of team identity for 2007. Schumacher gave his car to Kimi Räikkönen, and Kimi in a small farewell party by the McLaren team, handed over the steering wheel of his McLaren car is symbolic to Fernando Alonso.

2007: McLaren-Mercedes

Fernando Alonso started testing the McLaren car in December 2006. It was the McLaren team has not determined who the companion Alonso for the 2007 season. To be sure, Alonso was satisfied and happy of joining he was steamed. Throughout the winter, Alonso claims that he has donated 0.5 seconds for the betterment of the team.

When Lewis Hamilton's name was announced would be his partner in 2007, Alonso said that he would guide the Lewis who was at that time still regarded debutant. It is then also strengthened by the statement that Martin Whitmarsh said that Lewis will be allowed to overtake Fernando occasionally, even he also would be allowed to win some races, but he was not allowed to become world champion in 2007, meaning that Lewis Hamilton should be a supporter of Alonso in the season. However, it seems, relations between the adoptive father of Lewis Hamilton by Ron Dennis a little change that. With Lewis's remarkable appearance in his debut race in Australia and then Malaysia, then McLaren team announced that Hamilton and Alonso will be treated the same, and anyone has the right to be world champion. Alonso feels betrayed, although he won in Malaysia and Monaco, but he was not satisfied with the treatment team. Moreover, further adds to Lewis Hamilton hot ears after mentioning that Fernando Alonso is forcing the team to carry out team orders, which have been banned in F1, the Monaco Grand Prix.

Alonso's anger peaked when Lewis won the race in Canada and the U.S.. Little by little, he began looking for loopholes to get out of the McLaren team, but still with a title of world champion.  Where the peak occurs in Hungary when Alonso in the pits during qualifying ngendon to restrain the pace of Lewis, and as a result Alonso later sentenced by the FIA dropped five positions during the race.  Alonso then had to settle for watching Hamilton wins in Hungary.  Another way Fernando then traveled to get out of McLaren. Aware that his team is in the interrogation of the FIA ​​due to cases of theft of data belonging to Ferrari espionage, Alonso spoke bluntly to the FIA ​​that McLaren did possess and use the Ferrari data.  Without a doubt, the FIA ​​then remove all points constructors McLaren, but both riders are still allowed to compete for the title of the world. And his attitude is, Alonso began to hostility by the British press, even by some employees McLaren although they are still willing to serve and to set up Fernando cars.

Alonso could actually become world champion in 2007, unfortunately he suffered an accident at the Japanese GP, and Alonso also admitted that the accident was purely an error itself in the wet race. On the other hand, the civil war at McLaren team seemed to put to good use by Kimi Räikkönen and Ferrari. Slowly but surely, began to approach Kimi Alonso and Hamilton who were competing at the top, until finally the F1 started to enter the final race in Brazil.

Before Brazil, Fernando had revealed that he would be happy if she could be world champions again. However, if the conditions have not allowed anymore, he would be happy again if you see the world champion Kimi Räikkönen. And if Alonso was less fortunate in Brazil, then he will be willing to help Felipe Massa with Kimi to sit in the P1 and P2, as well as drive to be world champion Kimi 2007.

Brazilian Grand Prix qualifying results put in sitting position P3 Alonso in front of Lewis Hamilton, and behind the two Ferraris. During the race, Fernando was the option taken is to support Kimi. Realizing the power of the car will not be able to match the two Ferraris, and then tackle on Alonso Lewis Hamilton from the start until the beginning of lap 5 where the transmission of Hamilton's car stalled. In Spain, the public was pleased with the failure of Hamilton, and in Britain, public anger over the actions Alonso. Racing has been running for half, instead of Kimi in the lead. Alonso finally decided to play safe in P3. Even though it meant he failed to become world champion, but his heart was satisfied with her revenge on McLaren and Lewis Hamilton. Racing over, Kimi won the world champion, Alonso in P3, and Hamilton in P7. And then comes another trick of the McLaren , they lodged an appeal to the FIA ​​over the three cars that using illegal fuel. The cars are those that finish in P4, P5, and P6.  Again, Alonso defends the opponent, and instead of defending his own team. But fortunately, the FIA ​​reject McLaren's appeal and nonetheless decided that the world champion Kimi Räikkönen is legitimate.

November 2, through a small meeting with Ron Dennis, Fernando Alonso finally officially out from McLaren. Without a dime in compensation for the termination of his contract with McLaren.  And he's also got good news, that he would return to his old team, Renault began the 2008 season, replacing Heikki Kovalainen who, ironically, his place at McLaren.

2008-2009: Renault F1

Going home

Fernando Alonso was linked with several teams shortly after he officially left the McLaren. The teams are interested in him including Renault, Toyota, Red Bull Racing, and Honda. But after a long discussion with Flavio Briatore, Alonso finally decided to return to the Renault team. He then warmly welcomed by the whole team based in Enstone, England. Alonso also said that the atmosphere in the team Renault were warmer than the McLaren which he defended the 2007 season. Partner Alonso for the 2008 season is Nelson Angelo Piquet, who is the son of triple world champion of the 1980s, Nelson Piquet.  Alonso signed a contract with Renault for a period of two seasons with a total value of 25 million pounds,

Confidently, both Renault and Alonso believes the French team's 2008 season could rise again. But in fact the trip Alonso during the 2008 season somewhat plain, where the early season, he had trouble with handling Renault R28 is far from usual. I was so frustrated, Alonso had even said that he would go from the team if the car he drove was just bad. Soon after it was made Alonso, the team gradually began to clean up. While out there, rumors began to arrive that several teams are interested in appealing Alonso back, one team BMW Sauber and Honda. But Alonso insists he only wants to join the Scuderia Ferrari. It was Luca Cordero di Montezemolo said that the door directly to Alonso joining Ferrari already closed because of Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa is under contract until 2010. On the other hand, continuous improvements made by Renault team began to bring good results in the second half of the season, beginning in Belgium while Alonso managed to stab into the top five before falling to the rear tire due to wrong strategy. In Italy Alonso then got up and finished in P4, and the peak occurred in Singapore when he became champion. Alonso then went on his victory in Fuji by beating Robert Kubica of BMW Sauber.  Alonso and then finish in the P5 championship with 51 points.

Last year at Renault

Entering the 2009 season, Alonso back to Renault car let down by poor handling, which he had been since the winter tests. Alonso was also disappointed with the KERS system in his car that appear to be less able to compete with KERS from rival teams. Alonso's first points in the 2009 season in print in Bahrain when he finished in 8th position. Furthermore, in some other races, Alonso Renault cars performed poorly due to a too easy for the opponent teams passed up. The most embarrassing race for the Renault team is in the Hungarian GP. It was Alonso won the pole, but when the racing team Renault acting silly for one to install the bolts fastening the tire and consequently one of the tires off Alonso on the track. Steward then punish Renault ban one race, but was eventually canceled after the team filed an appeal granted.

In Belgium Nelson Piquet, Jr.. Renault team was fired and replaced by Romain Grosjean. Piquet is still resentment over his old team then makes a public confession that he was stir sent by Renault team for crashing into the wall during Singapore GP 2008 Alonso's call so you can go up as champions. The FIA ​​then investigated the case in September, and then punish Renault race ban for two seasons (although the sentence was ultimately canceled) and prohibits Flavio Briatore and Pat Symonds take part in F1.

After a long wait, finally able to Alonso on the podium in Singapore to finish in P3.  The podium was then became the sole Renault podium in the 2009 season well into the final podium with Alonso's team. In the final three races of the 2009 season (Japan, Brazil, and Abu Dhabi), Alonso failed to score a point, and in the closing race in Abu Dhabi, thanked Alonso Renault team for what they gave for Alonso to join, including when delivering Alonso became F1 world champion in 2005 and 2006.

Alonso became the fourth driver after Juan Manuel Fangio in 1956, Nigel Mansell in 1989, and Kimi Raikkonen in 2007 which won the first race when joining the Ferrari team.  One thing that is a bit different from Fernando Alonso today is change his attitude, referring to the opinion of Luca di Montezemolo, Alonso is now more calm and cool when compared to when he joined McLaren in 2007.
