The Aston Martin driver is ahead of Kimi Räikkönen and Lewis Hamilton in the hierarchy, who have 353 and 351 participations respectively. Fernando Alonso will, however, have to wait a few more weeks to reach the mark of 400 Grand Prix starts since his appearances also result in 396 starts for 3 non-participation (Belgium 2001, United States 2005, Russia 2017) and a withdrawal for reasons medical (Bahrain 2016).
His career in the spotlight
The headgear that the bull from Asturias will wear in Mexico retraces his entire career in cinematic style. Numerous photos recalling its 21 seasons and its six teams, from Minardi to Aston Martin via Renault, Ferrari, McLaren and Alpine will be visible there. His 32 successes and his 2 world championship titles with Renault in 2005 and 2006 will obviously be highlighted.
The Silverstone team has announced that events will take place over the weekend to celebrate Fernando Alonso’s 400th. In search of a 33rd career victory, Fernando Alonso is going through a difficult season after his eight podiums obtained in 2023. The Spaniard hopes that the future will be greener for Aston Martin, which has big ambitions in the years future.
