The Spanish driver is one of the most successful Formula One drivers in terms of having survived numerous accidents since his debut in 2001.

Alonso's first accident was in Brazil in 2003. His car hit Mark Webber's car, flew into the air and crashed into a wall. |
 |
Alonso was then pulled from the car and spent the night in hospital. However, he did not suffer any significant injuries. |
 |
The second serious accident Alonso faced was at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2004. Alonso lost control of his car. The front of his car dragged along the wall. The Spaniard's car hit the advertising signs and did not collide with any other cars. |

At the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix, Alonso, then the reigning champion for two consecutive years, lost control of his car and crashed into a wall. |
 |
His car caught fire on a rainy day at the Fuji racetrack. |
 |
Alonso's most serious accident was in 2012 at the Belgian Grand Prix. Just seconds after the start, Lotus driver Romain Grosjean's car collided with the front of Alonso's, who was racing for Ferrari. |
 |
Slow-motion replays showed Grosjean's car flying past Alonso's head, inches from the ground. The crash forced four drivers out of the race early and left viewers breathless. |
 |
At the first test of the season in Barcelona last year, Alonso lost control at 150 km/h and crashed into the wall several times. |
 |
But before the collision, Alonso managed to turn the wheel to avoid hitting the wall. |

At the 2016 Australian Grand Prix on Sunday, March 20, Alonso's car collided with the rear of Esteban Gutierrez's car. |
 |
The speed of the two cars when they collided was 310 km/h. Alonso's car flipped twice in the air and hit the wall, but he was unharmed and crawled out of the wreckage. |
