Fernando Alonso looked like a champion the moment he stepped into a Formula 1 car. And it looks like he'll be the youngest ever.

His Formula 1 career began in 2001 when he was picked up by the Minardi team. No points, as expected, but he completely thrashed more experienced team-mate Tarso Marques.

Renault beckoned and he joined as test driver in 2002. Spending a year out allowed Alonso to learn from a top team with top drivers. Alonso was promoted into a race seat in 2003.

Alonso had a successful start to his Renault career. He took podiums, although didn't do himself any favours when he crashed during yellow flag conditions in Brazil, causing the race to be stopped. Then in Hungary it all came together and he took victory, lapping champion Michael Schumacher on the way.

2004 would prove to be more disappointing. For the first half of the season he was outraced by Jarno Trulli, who took more podiums than the Spaniard and even a victory at Monaco. However at the French Grand Prix Trulli fell out of favour with the team and wouldn't score any more points. Alonso beat Trulli in the championship, but couldn't repeat his victory in 2003.

This would all change in 2005. Renault had the most reliable car and Alonso duly won in Malaysia and Bahrain. From then on McLaren had a faster car, but it was unreliable. Alonso benefitted from McLaren's misfortunes to win four more times, taking his victory total to six that year. With six races to go he has a twenty-six point advantage in the title race. Can he hold on and become Spain's first F1 champion?
