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.
Apart from his great on-track personality, Alonso is also well known for his off-the-track ventures. The Spaniard has set up a go-kart track, a museum, and a training team. 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.

As we can guess, the name A14management comes from Alonso’s letter A, and his favorite car number 14. The statement from the management’s Twitter handle reads, “Today, another way to manage drivers was born. Make your dreams come true. 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)
