Fernando Alonso

A racing franchise is returning with a new title this September. Codemasters has unveiled GRID, the non-numbered next iteration in the eponymous series.

This May, the 103rd running of the Indianapolis 500 will see a familiar name back at the Brickyard.

McLaren has announced Renault Sport driver Carlos Sainz Jr. as its replacement for the retiring Fernando Alonso.

The roller coaster that is the F1 2018 season continues on unabated. It began with the bombshell reveal of Daniel Ricciardo leaving Red Bull next season. Fernando Alonso has now confirmed he will be stepping away from the sport at the end of the current season.

Spanish Gran Turismo Sport players, there’s a new esport event for you. No, we’re not talking about the third FIA GT season that’s about to start, but one with a pretty cool prize on offer: a seat on Fernando Alonso’s esport team.

McLaren F1 driver — and Triple Crown hopeful — Fernando Alonso is getting into the esport game. The Spaniard has formed his own digital race team, and Gran Turismo Sport players will be some of the first to try out for the squad.

UPDATE: A previous draft of this story suggested this news was a sure thing. We’ve updated the article to reflect its speculative nature — apologies for any confusion.

After months of speculation, McLaren has confirmed Fernando Alonso will continue to drive for the team next season. The news comes ahead of this weekend’s US Grand Prix and will no doubt relieve fans of the Spaniard.

Fernando Alonso hasn’t quite been at his best since returning to McLaren in 2015. Plagued with numerous reliability issues, the tenure has been anything but a showcase of his driving talent.

Many moons ago, a headline like that would’ve come as no surprise. Back in the sixties, racing drivers competing across multiple categories was a rather common occurrence. For example, recently deceased motor racing legend John Surtees is the only person in history to have won major championships on both two and four wheels.
