Athletistic/Formula 1. Two-time world champion Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso finished sixth at last weekend’s Canadian Grand Prix, breaking Michael Schumacher’s record for the longest points spell in Formula 1.

Alonso scored his first points in Formula 1 on March 9, 2003 at the Australian Grand Prix. Since then, he has scored points in 257 races. After finishing sixth at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Alonso surpassed Schumacher’s record, which the seven-time Formula 1 champion had held since 2012.

The gap between Schumacher’s first and last score was 21 years, 2 months and 17 days, while for Alonso the gap is now 21 years and 3 months.

Alonso plans to stay in Formula 1 until at least 2026, which will give him the opportunity to further improve his new record.
