Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso turns 42 today, a milestone that further reinforces the Spaniard's status as the F1 grid's senior citizen.
But after 367 Grand Prix starts, 32 wins and two world championships - the latter achieved with Renault in 2005 and 2006 - the forever-young Alonso continues to power on and to give it "200 per cent" every other Sunday.
Alonso started his career in Formula 1 with Minardi back in 2001, having raced the year before in F3000.
The then 19-year-old - driving for Team Astromega - didn't win the championship that season, but he did score a victory at the last round at Spa, where he is seen in the picture hereabove brandishing the winner's gleaming trophy and where he is racing this weekend.
