The King Is Dead - Long Live the King!

Yesterday, Renault’s Fernando Alonso became the youngest Formula 1 world champion, finishing third in the Brazilian GP. His feat displaced Emerson Fitipaldi as the youngest F1 champ. Alonso also became the first Spaniard to win the world championship (coincidentally, Fitipaldi was the first Brazilian champ). In addition to those firsts, Alonso’s championship officially ends the years of Ferrari dominance, becoming the first champ other than Michael Schumacher since 1999. Congrats, Fernado.
