Jean Alesi belongs to the record of auto racing as a competitor whose results still define part of the sport.
The record lists Jean Alesi as French racecar driver.
Jean Alesi was born at Avignon in 1964. His recorded nationality is France.
By this period sport was fully international, televised and politicised, and an athlete's reach extended far past the field of play.
He competed at 24 Hours of Le Mans and Formula One.
Sport is the rare field that publishes its own evidence: the result is the argument.
The honours record reads: Knight of the Legion of Honour (2005).
That the career was built from France matters: facilities, coaching and funding are unevenly distributed, and they decide who ever reaches the start line.
What survives is the record itself - times, placings and titles that later competitors still measure themselves against.
