Fernando Alonso Makes History in Formula 1: Surpasses Schumacher as the Oldest Driver to Score Points in 50 Years

In a jaw-dropping feat, Fernando Alonso has left the legendary Michael Schumacher in the dust by becoming the oldest driver to score points in Formula 1 in the last 50 years. Despite a rocky start to the season, Alonso has bounced back with the help of Aston Martin’s improvements. His strategic genius was on full display in Austria, where he and Liam Lawson were the only drivers brave enough to attempt a single pit stop, a move that ultimately paid off as Alonso clinched a remarkable seventh place.

Witnessing Alonso, at nearly 44 years old, celebrate his six championship points and even applaud his own protege, Gabriel Bortoleto (whom Alonso manages and secured a spot in the top-10 for the first time), was a thrilling conclusion to an otherwise lackluster Grand Prix. With this remarkable performance at the Red Bull Ring, Alonso, at 43 years and 11 months, has etched his name in the history books as the oldest driver to score championship points since 1975, surpassing the iconic Michael Schumacher.

This milestone achievement cements Alonso’s status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of Formula 1 and solidifies his legacy as one of the sport’s greatest talents. The Spanish maestro continues to defy age and expectations, proving that his skill and determination know no bounds. The Formula 1 community eagerly anticipates what other records Alonso will shatter as he continues to push the limits of excellence on the racetrack.
