2007 world champion and Ferrari star Kimi Raikkonen will make his 250th race start in Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix.

The Finn will only become the seventh driver to reach this milestone after Ricardo Patrese (256), Rubens Barrichello (322), Michael Schumacher (306), Jarno Trulli (252), Jenson Button (303), and Fernando Alonso (271).

The club will actually welcome an eighth member as early as the next round in Abu Dhabi, with WilliamsFelipe Massa set to bow out of Formula One after his 250th start.
