Fernando Alonso has laid the foundation of a driver management agency. The Alpine driver named the agency as A14management. This is a one-of-its-kind driver’s agency, as it is founded by an active F1 driver.

And now a new driver’s agency adds another feather in his cap. The agency will be run by Albert Resclosa and the manager Alberto Fernandez.

The intention of A14Management is to select a small group of drivers and instill in them the indispensable values ​​to achieve their goals, with the support of the best team and extensive experience in motorsport.” (translated using Google Translate)
