Alonso at work

Between the first two tests ahead of the 2015 season, Fernando Alonso leaves nothing to chance by spending hours in the "torture room" in order to perfect his physical condition. Showing fans his training schedule on Twitter, Alonso has been working on muscular strength and visual reflex, while also confirming that motivation is as high as ever ahead of what will be his 14th season racing in Formula One.
