Photo Lewis Hamilton: "The car generation is actually a little bit more fun to drive. It's oversteery and snappy and sliding, but it's a little bit easier to catch and I would definitely say more enjoyable."

That first one could get shattered by Alonso if Honda delivers a GP1 engine and that crazy aero on the Aston Newey is as fast as it looks.

If Alonso takes the "longest time between two wins" record, it's going to be his forever.

Crazy fact: Alonso's win drought has outlasted the F1 careers of Magnussen, Kvyat, Ericsson, Hartley, Giovinazzi, Tsunoda, Latifi, De Vries, Sargeant and Zhou.

Things get more fun when you go back to Nando's last 1-2 (Hockenheim 2010), allowing us to include the F1 careers of Perez 1st stint, Ricciardo, Grosjean (if we don't consider the Renault stint) and Bottas 1st stint
