Profile
Alex was second in the Italian Formula Three series in 1984 and 1985, then third in 1986. His Formula One break came in 1987 when he drove the unwieldy Osella. His fortune was better in 1988 with a Scuderia Italia Dallara. Staying on for 1989, he took fourth place at Monaco and was then running fifth at Phoenix (having been second earlier on) when team-mate Andrea de Cesaris tipped him into the wall.
Alex moved to Arrows in 1990, but it was not a success. Staying with the team, now renamed Footwork, he found his chances were hampered by heavy and uncompetitive Porsche engines and then by a jaw-breaking road accident. He qualified only twice on his return. Just when he thought it could get no worse, it did: he joined the new Andrea Moda team for 1992. He quit after two races and elected to race in touring cars in Italy and Spain.
