Often referred to as the driver, who should have won more f1 championships with that talent, Fernando Alonso, born July 29 under the Leo sign, is for sure one of the most respected driver from the current and former drivers. He definitely is very passionate or vivacious for racing.  Among the current or most recent F1 drivers, Alonso has the biggest passion for racing. Formula 1 being his longest path, he also did IndyCar, Ralley Dakar, Le Mans etc. and he was pretty succesful with it. Of course his goal was to get the tripple crown, which he unfortunatelly didn't achieve (yet), but it seemed like he had a lot of fun. It is clear though that his biggest passion for racing is F1 and it is clearly visible while he's batteling. You can see how he puts all his heart and effort into the battles, like we could see recently in Hungary 2021 against Lewis Hamilton or I also remember the battles Alonso had with Sebastian Vettel especially in Monza 2011/12, which was really intense! You can also hear it in the team radios, how passionate he is. Whether he's happy or angry, like in Bahrain 2012 when he said 'All the time you have to leave a space!' after Rosberg pushed him off the track or when he sang 'We are the Champions', when he won the Championship in 2005 with Renault. 

Another interesting fact are the Lucky Numbers  and Lucky Colours that are included in the Leo Sign and quite some of them seemed to have brought some luck for Alonso. When Fernando was 3 years old, his dad built a Go-Kart, which was meant for his older Sister, but when she didn't show interest, he got it instead and that's how everything started. At the age of 13 he won the spanish-junior Kart Championship, which was his second title. Slightly after his 22nd Birthday he won his first ever f1 race in Budapest. The colour yellow was also on the car he got his first pole position, podium and race win and he also beat a 7-time Worldchampion with it twice and won his championships with it.

Especially in his younger years or early years in f1 he had those funny and cheerful celebrations after winning a grand prix. Back then he had that easy-going beach-lifestyle look and in general his style was very eye-catching. I would say he was the Lewis Hamilton from back in the day, 'cause of his looks. I can also imagine that his cheerfulness brought some sort of freshness back into f1, like the new drivers like Norris or Leclerc do now.
