Life does not get better than the life of a Formula 1 driver. They do what they love for a living and make a killing while doing so. While the drivers are paid enough to bathe themselves in any and all kinds of luxuries in the world, they are pampered as well. Pampered with gifts, attention, and a lot of perks. Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso is enjoying one such perk with his new team, Aston Martin.

Most people enjoy basic perks from their companies like rent allowance, car allowance, etc. However, Fernando Alonso is not like most people working at a normal job. So when we talk about his company perks, they have to be as extraordinary as the Spaniard, and Aston Martin did not disappoint.
We are all aware of the company car aspect of a Formula 1 driver. Alonso enjoyed that perk at his new team with an Aston Martin Valkyrie Spider. The Valkyrie series is a combination of F1-inspired aerodynamics and performance for a Formula 1 road experience. The Spider hypercar is limited to 85 units and starts at whopping 3 million dollars. As one would expect, the extraordinary vehicle packs a punch as well with 1160 horsepower.
The team also gifted a $300K Aston Martin SUV to Alonso in the past. The new $3 million toy is the cherry on top.
