Description: Fernando Alonso became a household name when he broke Michael Schumacher's dominance to secure back-to-back Formula 1 titles early in his career:

2005 Champion: Driving for the Renault F1 Team, Alonso became the then-youngest Formula 1 World Champion at the age of 24.
2006 Champion: He successfully defended his title with Renault F1 Team, becoming the youngest-ever double world champion at the time, following a fierce season-long battle with Michael Schumacher.

Beyond Formula 1, Alonso has achieved success in endurance racing:

FIA World Endurance Champion (1): He won the 2018–2019 FIA World Endurance Championship while driving for Toyota.
24 Hours of Le Mans (2): As part of his WEC campaign, he was a two-time winner of the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2018 and 2019.

He is the only driver in history to have won both the Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship and the World Sportscar/World Endurance Drivers' Championship.
