Where to Watch: Amazon Prime
"Fernando" is a five-episode series that follows racing driver Fernando Alonso taking part in
- 2019: 24 Hours of Daytona
- 2018-19 FIA World Endurance Championship (which also includes the 24 Hours at Le Mans)
- 2019 Indianapolis 500 and the
- 2020 Dakar Rally
This is the third documentary I have seen that has Fernando Alonso. The first being "Grand Prix Driver", an Amazon series that released in 2018 when he was racing with "McLaren" in Formula 1 alongside Stoffel Vandoorne. The second series was Netflix's "Drive to Survive: Season 1" that covered the 2018 F1 calendar. Alonso and his team McLaren were also part of the mix.
This is the first series with Alonso in focus. The series starts with covering his childhood and then the aforementioned races in a chronological manner. Now, Alonso is after the triple crown that means winning the "Monaco Grand Prix"; "24 Hours of Le Mans" and "Indianapolis 500". He has won the initial two previously and is eyeing the "Indianapolis 500".
If I was to compare this series, it is better than "Grand Prix Driver" and is as good as "Formula 1: Drive to Survive". The series follows him as he deals with fans, teammates, friends, and family.
"Fernando" has the right pace and is riveting. I highly recommend this series.
