My Story

The long-awaited autobiography from Formula One's Double World Championship winner Fernando Alonso.

Fernando Alonso is one of the best drivers to ever drive in Formula One; a double World Championship winner, he is admired and loved by millions. Here he tells his incredible journey to motorsport superstardom for the first time. Alonso's magnificent career has spanned the Schumacher era to his own back-to-back World Championship titles in 2005 and 2006, up to his running battles with Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton. Alonso is widely seen as one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all time. For the first time Alonso will give his own candid account of his meteoric trajectory on the Formula One circuit, which many consider one of the most rigorous organizations in worldwide sports, and one fraught with bitter rivalries. Starting with his first buggy races as a child and covering the sacrifices he and his family were forced to make to help him to compete at an international level, Alonso's story charts every turn in his rise to the heights of motorsport. At his pinnacle he destroyed record after record, and he is adored by fans around the world, who have followed his every move, especially when he decided, in 2017, to shoot for one of the mythic trials of motorsport, the Indy 500, one of the three events that make up the Triple Crown.
