The Scuderia Ferrari team has seen a lot of great racers come and go since it was founded. However, few made as big a splash as Fernando Alonso and Eddie Irvine. Although Alonso has been the more successful one on the track, he and Eddie share a passion for something other than fast cars: women. These two playboys were notorious womanizers throughout their careers, and in that respect, they are both equally successful former members of Scuderia Ferrari! Take a closer look at their lives and see for yourself!
Eddie Irvine
Eddie Irvine started racing in 1993 and retired from the sport in 2002. During the 1996-1999 seasons, he raced under the flag of Scuderia Ferrari. During that time, he was at his best. Not only was he highly successful with the ladies, but he got four wins and finished second in the World Championship. He was truly at the top of his game when representing Ferrari, and he retired a few years later. Eddie Irvine is a sports personality these days, and though he has calmed down quite a bit from his days in the past, he has retained his passion for the sport and, if the rumors are true, women. “Fast Eddie” is known for his outspoken nature in racing, the fact that he had dated all sorts of models and kept houses in cities around the world for when he needed to get away from it all. Colorful is a word often ascribed to him, and that sort of flamboyance gave him the confidence to take part in any chat with a naughty girl if only online chats were common at the time. Although his heyday was before the development of modern dating services, he would probably still do well on them. That idea is supported by the success that many athletes and celebrities have found while using online dating sites. The ability to date someone from Irvine’s houses in Miami and Milan would certainly appeal to him, and that’s something that many celebrities embrace. He’s known for being quite loquacious, too! Eddie Irvine’s business acumen has fueled his posh lifestyle, making him a fun-loving millionaire. He might be a little older these days, too, but Eddie has shown he is not afraid of trying new things and taking chances in life, like appearing in films! He’ll always be remembered as one of the best playboys to ever grace Ferrari!
Fernando Alonso
Another interesting character that can easily fit into the playboy mold is Fernando Alonso. His star began rising as Eddie Irvine’s was falling in the Formula 1 arena, so it’s only natural that a fellow playboy would take his spot. Fernando started racing in 2001 with Minardi and Renault, and he found his way to the Prancing Horse starting in 2010. Throughout his career, he has achieved a great deal. He has won 32 races and managed to win two championships in 2005 and 2006. Although he was never able to replicate that success with Ferrari, he was still a potent member of the team. This is something that Alsonso had talked about quite often, mentioning how the pieces weren’t there for him to be successful with Ferrari when he arrived. He recently reminisced that the state of racing is changing and becoming more about a long-term investment rather than bringing in very experienced racers. Nevertheless, Alonso continues to race and cause a stir in the sports world as he is a very intriguing playboy figure. He’s not as brash as Eddie Irvine, and he doesn’t have the same effortless charm as James Hunt, but he’s a highly successful womanizer. In the past, he’s been linked with a ton of different beautiful women, including:
- Linda Morselli
- Viki Odintcova
- Dasha Kapustina
- Lara Alvarez
- Raquel Del Rosario
- And many others!
He’s a man who has an insatiable appetite for the finer things in life, whether that is the company of rich and famous or being a star in a sport with thousands of adoring fans. He is not content with just racing in one fashion, either. He has entered the FIA World Endurance Championship races as well as IndyCar Series racing in pursuit of new challenges and adventures. He might even end up pursuing the ultimate challenge—finding a woman to settle down with! For now, we can all embrace his driving skills as well as his dedication to being an interesting playboy!
The Scuderia Ferrari team is changing its approach to racers, as evidenced by Fernando Alonso, a somewhat recent member of the team. Right now, the team is aching for another championship in F1, having waited since 2007 for another star driver to emerge and give them a shot. Both Alonso and Irvine have been entertaining racers for the team, but their kind of stardom driven by a life of excess is starting to wane in popularity. Who knows what the future stars of racing will look and act like?
