“My father has always instilled good values and education into me, and I shall always thank him for it. I knew how to value what I had, the effort they had to make at home, because we are just a normal family. My parents both worked, and I spent a good part of their wages on my karting; the only way to “pay” for their effort in some way was to win races and make the sport worthwhile. Seeing my father’s face after every win was the best reward he could give me,” - Fernando Alonso
