Alonsomania (Alonsomanía) is the fan phenomenon around the Spanish Formula One driver Fernando Alonso. Alonso is the most successful Spaniard in Formula One and this fueled a huge boom in the nation of Spain with interest in Formula One. His success has spawned this phenomenon all over Spain, "Fernando -- Thanks for making our dreams come true," read a huge banner held up by fans packed into an auditorium in Oviedo where they had watched the Brazilian Grand Prix. Over 50,000 people gathered at Oviedo's Plaza de América to celebrate, leaping up and down and chanting "Fernando, Fernando" to toast their hero's success.<ref name="indiareuters" /> Alonso's fans are recognized by the light blue and yellow Asturias flags<ref name="sify" /> which coincidentally shared the same colors of the Renault team when Alonso drove for them from 2002 to 2006. Alonso currently drives for the team with different colors. |
