Fernando Alonso tried his hand at Le Mans in 2018 in his quest for the motorsports Triple Crown that has been elusive to every driver except Graham Hill. His first attempt, when the double Formula One world champion paired up with Sebastien Buemi and Kazuki Nakajima, led Toyota to much-awaited success.

The Spaniard enjoyed a sixteen-year long stint in Formula One which resulted in two drivers’ titles as well as 32 Grand Prix victories. He remains widely known as one of the toughest drivers to race against.
