Throughout his career, Alonso drove many cars and raced under multiple racing outfits or marquees.

But the only time ever in his stellar F1 run where he came to represent a legacy in terms of a racing team alongside Lewis Hamilton (in the same racing colors) was that impressive stint in the McLaren of 2007.

A season that belonged to the Iceman Kimi Raikkonen of Ferrari, El Nino, now a somewhat experienced driver, a double world champion at that, was able to bag 4 Grands Prix wins, one each at Malaysia, Monaco, Europe, and Italy.

Other than that, Alonso pushed Hamilton and eventual championship-winner Raikkonen well enough to grab 12 overall podiums. Still, it won't be enough for him to earn another world title.

But that sensational season partnering Lewis Hamilton will always highlight the might of Fernando Alonso.
