The Fernando that Hall is referring to is none other than two-time Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso, who will be a part of the Toyota Gazoo Racing SA outfit when the Dakar commences on January 5 in Saudi Arabia. Alonso is partnered with fellow Spaniard Marc Coma in the SA-built Toyota Hilux GR as part of an all-star line-up of four works crews consisting of three-time Dakar winner Nasser al-Attiyah and navigator Mathieu Baumel; SA’s Giniel de Villiers and navigator Alex Haro; and Bernhard Ten Brinke and navigator Tom Colsoul.
