It looks like Fernando Alonso is breaking a record in every GP he races in. The Spanish driver broke another record when he was driving in the French Grand Prix this weekend. He recently became the first driver to start in 350 races in Formula One. On Sunday, he surpassed former F1 world champion, Kimi Raikkonen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kimi-raikkonen/], to break another record in the sport. He has now become the driver to complete most laps in the sport’s history. The Alpine driver has now completed 18,672 laps in Formula One since he started racing in 2001. It would be fascinating to see if anyone can break that record in the coming years. Lewis Hamilton [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/] is around 1500 laps behind the two-time world champion and is third on the list. READ MORE: Why is Fernando Alonso coming back?

<h2><strong>Fernando Alonso 2022: </strong><strong>Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Fernando Alonso has been established as one of the best drivers of his generation. The Spaniard is one driver who should never be underestimated. Even in a car that was not up to the mark, he would wring out every ounce of performance and put it in places where it should not be.

He made his debut in 2001 driving for Minardi. It was also the same year that <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kimi-raikkonen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kimi Raikkonen</a> made his debut. In 2002, he joined forces with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/renault/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Renault</a> in the capacity of a test driver before graduating to a race seat in 2003.

After winning two back-to-back championships, he moved to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">McLaren</a>. However, he returned to Renault a year later. In 2010, he joined <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ferrari</a> and raced for them until 2014. Finally, he returned to McLaren in 2015 and stayed with them until his retirement in 2018.

Shortly after retiring, Fernando Alonso and NASCAR legend Jimmie Johnson <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb0pTpqGkpU" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">swapped rides</a> as part of a special one-off event. The double World Champion drove Johnson's Chevrolet Camaro by Hendrick Motorsports while Johnson took to the wheel of Alonso's 2018 McLaren F1 car.

However, Alonso's 'retirement' from Formula 1 didn't last very long. In July 2020, Alonso announced his return to the pinnacle of motorsport with Renault turned Alpine in 2021. Coming full circle, Alonso rejoined the French team, having completed 2 previous stints with the Enstone outfit.

The Spaniard partnered Esteban Ocon at the Renault-powered Alpine Racing over the 2021 season. Alonso went on to clinch his first podium in years at the inaugural Qatar Grand Prix.

He will stay with the team until the end of 2022 while his teammate extended his stay until the end of 2024.

<h2><strong>Fernando Alonso: Stats and On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
Fernando Alonso is a double-World Champion with the Renault F1 team. His maiden podium came in 2003 in what was just his second race for Renault at the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Later that year, the maiden win would follow at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Grand_Prix" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hungarian Grand Prix</a>. He bagged a few more podiums in 2004. And in 2005, he wrestled the championship away from<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Michael Schumacher</a>. That year, he won by a hefty 21 points ahead of Kimi Raikkonen, and Michael Schumacher was held off by a 60-point void.

2006 was a bit closer between him and Michael, with 13 points separating them. In 2007, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Lewis Hamilton</a> happened, and it was a tumultuous year for Alonso and his new team, McLaren.

Beyond that year, the win well gradually began to dry up for the Spaniard. He only picked up 13 wins across 10 years. The 2013 Spanish Grand Prix was his last win for Ferrari and in Formula One.

In an F1 career spanning 17 years, Alonso started 322 Grand Prix, winning 32 races and clinching 97 podiums in the process. He also racked up 1937 points.

It's no secret that Alonso is aiming for the 'triple crown' in motorsport. The triple crown involves winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Monaco Grand Prix, and the Indianapolis 500.

Alonso has triumphed in Monaco and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Spaniard is keen to add another feather to his cap with a win at the Indy500.

Sadly, he's been unlucky so far. In his first attempt in 2017, Alonso retired from the race, having led the race for a commendable 27 laps. In 2019, Alonso failed to qualify for the event following a series of issues, which weren't entirely of his own making. He competed in the 2020 event with Arrow McLaren SP but hardly made an impression as he qualified P26 and reached home in P21.

<h3><strong>Kimi Raikkonen 2021: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h3>
2007 World Champion Kimi Raikkonen is arguably the most popular Formula 1 driver. His straight-talking, no-nonsense attitude has a fanbase of its own in the F1 circuit. Kimi's nonchalant style and outlook towards racing and life have earned him the moniker of 'Iceman' among fans and experts alike.

The Finn made his Formula One debut back in 2001, along with<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/fernando-alonso/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Fernando Alonso</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Pablo_Montoya" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Juan Pablo Montoya</a>. He raced for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/sauber/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sauber</a> in his maiden season before jumping ship to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">McLaren</a>. He would remain with the team until 2006 and moved to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ferrari</a> a year later.

Kimi Raikkonen tried his hand at rallying for a brief period before returning to F1 in 2o12. Raikkonen spent two seasons at Lotus before rejoining Ferrari in 2014.

After five seasons at the Scuderia, Kimi moved on to Alfa Romeo. The Iceman had come full circle.

<h3>Kimi Raikkonen Stats and Championships</h3>
Kimi Raikkonen added his first F1 win to the tally in 2003 at Sao Paulo, Brazil. The very same year, he almost clinched his first title, but Michael Schumacher denied it on the last race by a difference of two points. However, four years later, the Finnish racing driver secured his only F1 title in 2007 in his first season at Ferrari. Raikkonen ousted both the McLaren drivers by a single point.

So far, Raikkonen has secured 103 podiums over his career in Formula 1, including 21 race wins. Raikkonen also triumphed 18 times in qualifying sessions by securing the pole position.

Raikkonen hit his peak over his final year at Ferrari in 2018 by securing 251 points, his highest ever points finish in a single championship season. Out of the 20 races, Raikkonen reached the podium on 12 occasions.

The Alfa Romeo driver currently holds the record for the most number of <a href="https://www.formula1.com/en/drivers/kimi-raikkonen.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">race starts</a>, beating Rubens Barrichello's 323. At the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix, Raikkonen created yet another new record in terms of distance covered through his career; Fernando Alonso previously held the record for the same.

<h3><strong>On-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h3>
The veteran driver scored his first podium in his very first race for McLaren. A win came his way a year later at the Malaysian Grand Prix. In 16 seasons, Raikkonen has finished in the Top-5 of the championship at least 10 times.

Finally, his moment of glory came in 2007, when he took advantage of the warring duo of Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton. His win streak dried up after the 2013 Australian Grand Prix. But he broke that jinx at the 2018 US Grand Prix.

He currently races for the Alfa Romeo team, even at the age of 41.

<h3><b>Kimi Raikkonen’s Endorsements</b></h3>
When Raikkonen signed for Ferrari for the second time, he limited his personal endorsement opportunities.

<h3>Contacting Kimi Raikkonen</h3>
Despite being the Iceman, Kimi Raikkonen isn't exactly a very chatty personality. He likes to do his job and get on with life. As a result, he isn't the most engaging or open driver in F1. But that is slowly changing.

In late 2017, Kimi finally joined social media to connect with fans and express himself. He has an official Instagram account where he usually posts a variety of things in and out of the F1 world.

<h4>Kimi Raikkonen's House, Personal Life, and Off-Track Endeavors</h4>
The majority of rich and successful F1 drivers tend to choose Monaco as their official residence because of the amazing views. However, Kimi isn't one of them.

The Iceman has two residences - one is in his <a href="https://www.quora.com/Who-owns-the-biggest-home-in-Finland" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">homeplace, Finland</a>, while the other is in Switzerland.

British driver Lando Norris made his Formula 1 debut with McLaren during the 2019 season. He was initially interested in pursuing a motorcycle racing career. However, that changed when he attended his first kart race. He made his racing debut in 2014 at the Ginetta Junior Championship, finishing 3rd. A year later, he won the MSA Formula Championship while racing for Carlin. In 2016, he even won the Formula Renault 2.0 and the Toyota Racing Series.

Finally, in 2017, he won the FIA Formula 3 Championship and placed 2nd at the Macau GP. But in 2018, he could only muster 2nd in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, losing out toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/george-russell/" target="_self" rel="noopener">George Russell</a>. In Formula 1, he has been fairly successful after making his debut in 2019 with McLaren. In his rookie season, he managed to secure 49 points and finished 11th in the driver standings. His maiden podium came in the following season. He has finished on the podium 15 times in his career; 3 of them coming in the 2021 season.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris: Stats and On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
During the 2017 Formula 3 season, the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/">McLaren</a> #4 driver won the very first race of the season. He followed it up with a podium in Round 3, both races at Silverstone. Since then, Lando Norris went on a 5-race podium streak, including a win. But it was halted at Race 3 of the Pau Grand Prix. Unfazed, he scored six podiums and seven wins to seal the Championship.

During the 2018 Formula 2 season, he claimed a season-opening victory, this time in Bahrain. However, it would be the only win he took all season. But he managed to follow it up with eight podiums to finish 2nd in the Championship.

The 2019 Formula 1 season was his first-ever season among the elite. He was partnered by Spanish driver <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Sainz_Jr." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carlos Sainz Jr.</a>Â atÂ McLaren. The 2021 F1 season has been the most successful season for Norris, having garnered a total of 4 podiums, and almost secured his first-ever top 5 finish in the drivers' standings. He has also defeated Sainz's successor, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/">Daniel Ricciardo</a> quite effectively, despite the latter's abundant experience in F1. He finished 7th in the Drivers' Championship with 122 points in the 2022 season, 38 points less than what he had managed in the previous season.

The 2023 season witnessed rookie Oscar Piastri replacing Daniel Ricciardo as Norris' new teammate. After a slow start to the season, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-lando-norris-co-s-clever-tactics-tipped-to-destroy-lewis-hamilton-while-max-verstappen-remains-elusive/">McLaren and Norris found their groove.</a> Norris bagged 205 points over the course of the seasonâ€“his career bestâ€“and finished only 1 point behind 4th place as both Leclerc and Alonso finished level on 206 points.

After holding the record for the most podiums without a win, the situation turned around for Lando Norris, who won his first race at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix. His first race win brought him to 83 points where he tied at P4 in the driver's championship. Norris had the lead after the safety car incident and, since lap 33, he knew he would win the race. This makes him the 114th Grand Prix winner in the history of the sport.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">The scariest moments of Lando Norris' career</h2>
The Briton suffered what is arguably the worst crash of his career during the 2021 Belgian GP qualifying. The crash took place around the nerve-wracking Eau Rouge-Raidillon turn under appalling weather conditions. The very same year, Norris ended up being a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-lando-norris-robbery-remains-a-mystery-as-twisted-case-takes-another-turn-after-recent-judgement/">victim of a robbery</a> while heading out of the Wembley Stadium after the Euro 2020 finals between England and Italy. Norris lost his $75,000 worth of Richard Mille prototype watch in the robbery.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris: Net Worth</strong></h2>
In 2019, Lando Norris' salary was estimated to be around $2 million <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.racefans.net/2020/03/30/how-much-are-f1-drivers-earning-in-2020-and-should-their-fees-be-capped/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to reports</a>. However, in 2021, Norris' on-track salary witnessed a substantial jump and <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brettknight/2021/07/22/formula-1-highest-paid-drivers-hamilton-verstappen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly raced up</a> to a whopping $9 million, which was only $1 million less than the salary of his teammate, Daniel Ricciardo.

In February 2022, Norris extended his partnership with McLaren until the end of 2025. This particularÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.gq.com.au/fitness/sport/f1-driver-salaries-2022/image-gallery/959853345554bc750aa6609f94994634#:~:text=Lando%20Norris%20signed%20a%20contract,2023%20season%2C%20will%20likely%20go" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contract</a>Â will be worth $80M and hence, Norris will embrace yearly earnings of around $20M.

Norris also owns an E-sports team named '<a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://quadrant.gg/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Quadrant</a>'. The Briton has a logo of his own too goes by the alphabets L and N and is usually written as 'L4NDO'. His helmet, too, sports a similar design.

As of December 2023, Norris' net worth is <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/24632242/lando-norris-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> to be around $30 million.

Lando Norris

Lando Norris 2024: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements British driver Lando Norris made his Formula 1 debut with McLaren during the 2019 season. He was initially interested in pursuing a motorcycle racing career. However, that changed when he attended his first kart race. He made his racing debut in 2014 at the Ginetta Junior Championship, finishing 3rd. A year later, he won the MSA Formula Championship while racing for Carlin. In 2016, he even won the Formula Renault 2.0 and the Toyota Racing Series. Formula One F1 &#8211; Canadian Grand Prix &#8211; Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Montreal, Canada &#8211; June 18, 2023. McLaren&#8217;s Lando Norris during the drivers parade ahead of the Grand Prix. REUTERS/Mathieu Belanger Finally, in 2017, he won the FIA Formula 3 Championship and placed 2nd at the Macau GP. But in 2018, he could only muster 2nd in the FIA Formula 2 Championship, losing out toÂ George Russell. In Formula 1, he has been fairly successful after making his debut in 2019 with McLaren. In his rookie season, he managed to secure 49 points and finished 11th in the driver standings. His maiden podium came in the following season. He has finished on the podium 15 times in his career; 3 of them coming in the 2021 season. Lando Norris: Stats and On-track Achievements During the 2017 Formula 3 season, the McLaren #4 driver won the very first race of the season. He followed it up with a podium in Round 3, both races at Silverstone. Since then, Lando Norris went on a 5-race podium streak, including a win. But it was halted at Race 3 of the Pau Grand Prix. Unfazed, he scored six podiums and seven wins to seal the Championship. During the 2018 Formula 2 season, he claimed a season-opening victory, this time in Bahrain. However, it would be the only win he took all season. But he managed to follow it up with eight podiums to finish 2nd in the Championship. The 2019 Formula 1 season was his first-ever season among the elite. He was partnered by Spanish driver Carlos Sainz Jr.Â atÂ McLaren. The 2021 F1 season has been the most successful season for Norris, having garnered a total of 4 podiums, and almost secured his first-ever top 5 finish in the drivers&#8217; standings. He has also defeated Sainz&#8217;s successor, Daniel Ricciardo quite effectively, despite the latter&#8217;s abundant experience in F1. He finished 7th in the Drivers&#8217; Championship with 122 points in the 2022 season, 38 points less than what he had managed in the previous season. The 2023 season witnessed rookie Oscar Piastri replacing Daniel Ricciardo as Norris&#8217; new teammate. After a slow start to the season, McLaren and Norris found their groove. Norris bagged 205 points over the course of the seasonâ€“his career bestâ€“and finished only 1 point behind 4th place as both Leclerc and Alonso finished level on 206 points. After holding the record for the most podiums without a win, the situation turned around for Lando Norris, who won his first race at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix. His first race win brought him to 83 points where he tied at P4 in the driver&#8217;s championship. Norris had the lead after the safety car incident and, since lap 33, he knew he would win the race. This makes him the 114th Grand Prix winner in the history of the sport. The scariest moments of Lando Norris&#8217; career The Briton suffered what is arguably the worst crash of his career during the 2021 Belgian GP qualifying. The crash took place around the nerve-wracking Eau Rouge-Raidillon turn under appalling weather conditions. The very same year, Norris ended up being a victim of a robbery while heading out of the Wembley Stadium after the Euro 2020 finals between England and Italy. Norris lost his $75,000 worth of Richard Mille prototype watch in the robbery. Lando Norris: Net Worth In 2019, Lando Norris&#8217; salary was estimated to be around $2 million according to reports. However, in 2021, Norris&#8217; on-track salary witnessed a substantial jump and reportedly raced up to a whopping $9 million, which was only $1 million less than the salary of his teammate, Daniel Ricciardo. In February 2022, Norris extended his partnership with McLaren until the end of 2025. This particularÂ contractÂ will be worth $80M and hence, Norris will embrace yearly earnings of around $20M. Norris also owns an E-sports team named &#8216;Quadrant&#8216;. The Briton has a logo of his own too goes by the alphabets L and N and is usually written as &#8216;L4NDO&#8217;. His helmet, too, sports a similar design. As of December 2023, Norris&#8217; net worth is reported to be around $30 million.
