Season 1
Season 1 started brilliantly for Etihad. Alonso and Bottas drove for the team, with Stoffel  with Alonso starting from pole and winning the Australian Grand Prix, with Bottas being beaten to 2nd by Lewis Hamilton. Alonso led the Brazilian Grand Prix, however he retired with a water leak, with Bottas retiring from an engine failure. The Spaniard would bounce back to win the Argentine and San Marino GPs, with the Finn retiring in both of these races. Alonso got taken out at the start by Mark Webber for the Spanish Grand Prix, and after a comeback through the field finished 2nd, behind Hamilton, with Bottas taking 3rd as a result of Webber's penalty. Fernando dominated the French Grand Prix, despite Bottas taking pole. His teammate would retire as the Spaniard won the race by over a minute, lapping everyone except Pascal Wehrlein. Alonso would go on to finish 2nd in Hungary with Bottas retiring once again. Both cars would retire at the Belgian Grand Prix, however this did not affect Alonso's championship hopes, since title rival Lewis Hamilton retired as well. The Spaniard dominated the Italian Grand Prix, while Bottas finished 5th after being hit by Webber midway through the race. Alonso clinched the title at the Austrian Grand Prix by finishing third with teammate Bottas finishing fourth. However at the same race, Etihad was knocked out of title contention for the constructors championship, which was clinched by Thomas Cook. Alonso dominated the final race in Japan as Bottas retired. At the end of season test, Bottas' season 2 replacement Pascal Wehrlein narrowly edged Alonso.
