Spanish driver of Formula 1 Fernando Alonso decided to stop speaking.

The driver himself told about this. Note that this sport Alonso gave as much as 17 years of his life.

"After 17 wonderful years in this amazing sport, it's time for changes and movement on," said Alonso.

It turns out that Alonso knew about his retirement from Formula 1 a few months ago, but only now announced this officially.

Recall that Alonso is a two-time champion of Formula-1 (in 2005 and 2006), as well as three-time vice-champion of the world (2010, 2012, 2013). Since December 2014, Fernando was a pilot of the team "McLaren".
