Fernando Alonso is celebrating his 250th grand prix participation in Russia this weekend. The Spaniard started racing for Minardi in 2001 as a youthful 19-year-old. Since then, he has claimed 22 pole positions, won 32 races, clinched 97 podiums, and secured two world titles with Renault in 2005 and 2006. But will Alonso be able to add to his impressive tally before he bows out of F1?
