Fernando Alonso is 42 years old.Originally Posted by Rachel Divine
Why Fernando Alonso is my favourite driver?
Because he manages to keep the car behind for 10 or more laps with maybe a slower car.
For the last 10 laps I am looking at the times between Alonso and Pastry, is so ... ''exciting''.
Oldest F1 record holders of the last 25 years. Oldest pole sitter = Kimi Räikkönen [38 years 10 months 16 days]
Oldest race winner = Again, Kimi Räikkonen (39 years 0 months 4 days)
Oldest F1 title winner = Lewis Hamilton (35 years 10 months 8 days)
Fernando Alonso would take those records if he got pole, a race win or a championship win.
In the entire history of the sport, only three drivers have won a championship in their forties.
1 Juan Manuel Fangio (46 years, 41 days) [1957]
2 Giuseppe Farina (43 years, 308 days) [1950]
3 Jack Brabham (40 years, 155 days) [1966]
Lewis Hamilton is actively looking another championship. He will be forty next January.
