'''Alfonso de Vinuesa''' (born 13th December 1958 in Madrid, Spain) is a former Formula One racing driver in [[User:Aerond|Aerond's]] [https://www.youtube.com/@discinfiltrator_games Grand Prix 2 Career]. During his career, Alfonso de Vinuesa drove for the EuroBrun, Brabham and Lamborghini Formula One teams.

==[[1988 Alfonso de Vinuesa career season|1988 season]]==
* '''World Drivers Champion''': {{FRA}} Alain Prost (McLaren)
* '''World Constructors Champion''': {{GBR}} McLaren-Honda (Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna)
* {{ESP}} '''Alfonso de Vinuesa''' (EuroBrun): 15th, 4 points

The 1988 Formula One season was dominated by McLaren-Honda, who won 14 of the season's 16 Grands Prix. For the opening quarter of the season, Ayrton Senna was peerless, winning all four races. However, he entered a months-long winless rut that lasted until the Japanese Grand Prix; his teammate Alain Prost was able to mount a Championship-winning comeback. The season was also notable for two of the most impressive rookie performances in recent memory by the Spaniard Alfonso de Vinuesa. At the Detroit Grand Prix, he managed to score a shock pole position in changing conditions, as he managed to set a clean lap in the best conditions of the entire qualifying session. Sadly his car did not last the full race distance on that occasion. It did do so at the Hungaroring though, where a defensive masterclass managed to earn him his first-ever Formula One podium.

==[[1989 Alfonso de Vinuesa career season|1989 season]]==
* '''World Drivers Champion''': {{BRA}} Ayrton Senna (McLaren)
* '''World Constructors Champion''': {{GBR}} McLaren-Honda (Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna)
* {{ESP}} '''Alfonso de Vinuesa''' (Brabham): 19th, 2 points

The 1989 season again begun with a quartet (soon to become a quintet) of consecutive Ayrton Senna Grand Prix victories. For Prost though, it was not more of the same: he was able to post only one race win all season long, and finished with exactly half of his teammate's points in a flaccid Championship defence that saw him sink to third in the Championship behind Williams' Thierry Boutsen. Apart from Senna, the only other driver to win more than once was Lotus-Honda's Satoru Nakajima: the Japanese driver scored victories at the French, Hungarian and Australian Grands Prix. Alfonso de Vinuesa struggled in his new drive at Brabham, where reliability woes were the norm. Only three times out of 16 did he see the chequered flag, the best of those results coming at the British Grand Prix where he scored two of Brabham's eventual four points for the season.

==[[1990 Alfonso de Vinuesa career season|1990 season]]==
* '''World Drivers Champion''': {{BRA}} Ayrton Senna (McLaren)
* '''World Constructors Champion''': {{GBR}} McLaren-Honda (Ayrton Senna, Gerhard Berger)
* {{ESP}} '''Alfonso de Vinuesa''' (Brabham): 0 points

Much like the previous year, 1990 was dominated by McLaren-Honda's Ayrton Senna, followed closely by his loyal McLaren rear gunner Gerhard Berger. He won eight of his team's nine Grand Prix victories; his closest challenges come from Berger, Mansell, Nannini and Patrese: the only drivers to win races ahead of Senna. Elsewhere, Andrea de Cesaris (Ferrari), Alessandro Nannini (Benetton) and Martin Donnelly (Tyrrell) all scored their maiden Grand Prix victories in a season that saw a much more competitive field overall. However one team that was far less competitive was Brabham: Alfonso de Vinuesa was reunited with former teammate Stefano Modena, but neither was ultimately able to crack the points due partly to a continuous string of misfortunes.

==[[1991 Alfonso de Vinuesa career season|1991 season]] ''(as of France)''==
* ''World Drivers Championship leader'': {{ITA}} Riccardo Patrese (Williams)
* ''World Constructors Championship leader'': {{GBR}} Williams-Renault (Riccardo Patrese, Alain Prost)
* {{ESP}} ''Alfonso de Vinuesa'' (Lamborghini): 9th, 5 points

Ahead of the 1991 season, Alfonso de Vinuesa moved teams to the brand new Lamborghini outfit in Modena, where he would be united with recurring teammate Stefano Modena for a third successive Constructor. The team performed well, with each driver taking two points finishes in each of the first five races, the highlight being the shock de Vinuesa podium in Canada. Further up the field, Riccardo Patrese made a career-best start to the season, although at this point he finds himself defending the lead from three of the grid's star drivers: Mansell, Prost and Senna.
