Inside the Fernando Alonso Museum in Oviedo
F1. Motors Inside was lucky enough to visit the Fernando Alonso Museum in his home town of Oviedo. A visit to an unexpected space, retracing the career of the two-time F1 world champion and motorsport addict.


A museum dedicated entirely to a Formula 1 driver is rare, and Fernando Alonso's is not the most accessible. From Paris, for example, it takes about 13 hours by road, and almost as much from Lyon. While many French fans have the opportunity to go to F1 circuits near France, few, however, are those who visit the Fernando Alonso museum in the Asturias region, in the northwest of Spain.
During our visit, only half a dozen people occupied the premises. The museum also hosts a circuit dedicated to Fernando Alonso's driving school and track days reserved for license holders with their own kart.
A long career in motorsports
Fernando Alonso has been a Formula 1 driver since 2001 and made his debut with Minardi, placed by Flavio Briatore. In 2003, he made his debut with Renault F1 and scored some points before shining in 2005 and 2006 thanks to his world champion titles in those years.
Driving for Renault, then McLaren and Ferrari, he took a few years off to compete in endurance and the Dakar before returning to F1.
