Fernando Alonso has broken a record held by former F1 rival Michael Schumacher.
Fernando Alonso’s sixth place finish in the Canadian Grand Prix last weekend broke Michael Schumacher’s record for the longest time period of scoring points in Formula 1. Alonso first scored F1 points on March 9, 2003, in the Australian Grand Prix, and has since earned points in 257 F1 races. His gap between first and last points is now longer than Schumacher’s 21 years, 2 months, and 17 days record. With Alonso’s impressive driving skills and the competitive Aston Martin team, he is likely to further extend this record. Alonso’s commitment to F1 until at least 2026 raises the question of whether anyone else will surpass this remarkable achievement in the future.
