Jean Alesi, a fan favourite, embodied the spirit of a true racer with his aggressive, flamboyant driving style. Known for his dramatic overtakes and never-say-die attitude, he became synonymous with Ferrari in the early 1990s, despite their struggles. His single Grand Prix victory at the 1995 Canadian Grand Prix was a moment of popular triumph. Across 201 starts, Alesi secured 32 podiums and 2 pole positions, endearing himself to a generation of Formula 1 enthusiasts.
