Beloved French driver whose flamboyant attacking style and loyalty to Ferrari made him one of the most popular figures in Formula One history, despite the world title eluding him throughout his career.
Jean Alesi is a French-Sicilian former Formula One driver best remembered for his passionate, attacking driving style and his long association with Ferrari. Despite never winning a World Championship and finishing runner-up only once, Alesi is one of the most beloved drivers in F1 history, particularly in France.
