Lewis Hamilton vs Fernando Alonso: The Race To Break A Huge Record This 2023 Season

The two F1 champions could be battling it out to break this record during the 2023 season.

The 2023 F1 season's first race, the Bahrain Grand Prix is fast approaching, and Lewis Hamilton is looking to break another record. However, with Aston Martin showing a notable improvement in performance during pre-season testing, Fernando Alonso could be a contender in breaking that record as well.

Hamilton celebrated his 300th grand prix in the 2022 season, and no driver has ever won a race after participating in 300 F1 races. But Hamilton is eager to break this record and add another milestone to his already impressive career. However, this could have been made more difficult with Alonso potentially being able to break the same record.

Although it has been a while since Alonso entered his 300th race, he is now with a team that appears capable of putting pressure on the top three. Thus, he could have a shot at making it to the top of the podium again. Aston Martin has shocked F1 fans by showing significantly improved performance during the pre-season testing in Bahrain last week.

Hamilton made his F1 debut in 2007 and has had one of the most successful careers in the sport's history. With seven championships, 103 race wins, 191 podium finishes, 103 pole positions, and 4405.5 points, Hamilton's accomplishments are remarkable.

On the other hand, Alonso started his F1 career in 2001 and has two championships, 32 race wins, 98 podium finishes, 22 pole positions, and 2061 points to his name. He has entered a total of 335 races.

Hamilton and Alonso are two of the six drivers who have entered over 300 races. Kimi Raikkonen has 349 races under his belt, Rubens Barrichello 322, and Michael Schumacher and Jenson Button both raced in 306.

The Bahrain Grand Prix marks the start of the 2023 season, and many F1 fans are eager to find out if Aston Martin can compete at the front of the grid.
