Although he could not confirm until midnight, Fernando Alonso celebrated his 100th podium this Sunday. A historic milestone achieved by very few pilots—just six. In Formula 1, Lewis Hamilton is leading the standings after his golden age with Mercedes and currently holds 191 podiums. The century-old elite club also includes Michael Schumacher (155), Sebastian Vettel (122), Alain Prost (106) and Kimi Raikonen (103).
It’s been 20 years since the veteran Asturias driver took the podium for the first time in Malaysia.. On Sunday, March 23, 2003, Fernando finished third in the race with his Renault, behind Raikkonen and Barrichello, becoming the first Spanish driver to occupy such a privileged position alone. Marquis Alfonso de Portago was first in 1956, but in his case it was a joint podium (second in Great Britain alongside Peter Collins in a race won by Fangio).
Living a second-of-a-kind youth at the age of 41, Fernando Alonso has fully succeeded in his risky commitment to the Aston Martin project. In 2022, Lawrence Stroll, who was seventh among builders at the time, decided to leave Alpine, the fourth team on the grid, to sign the line-up. No one was expecting an outstanding start to the season at Silverstone, which confirmed they had the second best car on the current grid in two races, Bahrain and Arabia, only to beat Max Verstappen and Sergio’s ‘untouchables’ Red Bull. Pérez sharing the wins in the first two grand prix of the 2023 World Cup.
Controversial Alonso holding grand prix record (358 so far)During his twenty years in F1, 41 podiums with Renault, 12 podiums with McLaren, 44 podiums with Ferrari, 1 podium with Alpine and 2 podiums so far with Aston Martin. In the two races he wore the Greens, he doubled the podiums he had achieved in 44 races with Alpine. And if the trend continues this year, Fernando could continue to expand the already impressive list at this point.
He’s been in the ‘top 3’ in more than 27% of World Cup races, but it’s true that his numbers have held up since leaving Ferrari in the past decade. He recorded four podiums in the 2003 season and four in 2004. His most productive years were precisely 2005 and 2006. When he won two world crowns, finishing 15 and 14 podiums respectively. In stormy 2007, sharing the McLaren box with ambitious “rookie” Lewis Hamilton, Alonso climbed the drawer 12 times, three in 2008, one in 2009, 10 in 2010, 10 in 2011, 13 in 2012, nine in 2012. , two in 2014, one in 2021 and two in 2023.
