Fernando Alonso is on the verge of an incredible and probably unrepeatable record: the Spanish world champion is starting his 400th race weekend, forever writing his name among the immortals of the sport.
Fernando Alonso, the oldest and most experienced driver in the field, will achieve a number that was previously thought to be unthinkable at this weekend's Mexican Grand Prix. The 400th race weekend will be accompanied by special events, and of course the usual exclusive helmet paint job cannot be left out. The design of this has now been revealed by Aston Martin on social media, and let's face it, it's really beautiful. It's like a film reel, bringing to life in black and white the greatest moments of Fernando Alonso's career. Aston Martin has also announced that it will be celebrating its driver throughout the Mexican Grand Prix.
Respect and hats off to the "old man", his story is truly extraordinary...
