British GP Facts, Stats & Memoirs
How does Fernando Alonso's record this year compare to the past? What happened in the British Grand Prix of 1982, and what happened 26 years ago this week? Marcel Schot brings the answers and more anecdotes on the tenth round of the season
Just when Fernando Alonso seemed on the verge of collapsing, the Spaniard returned to form - after two non-results, he scored his fifth win of the season. When we look back at 2005, nobody will see the two non-results - what they will see is five wins in the first ten races. The last driver not called Michael Schumacher to win five races in a full season was Mika Hakkinen back in 1999.
If we look at number of laps led so far, it's a more balanced fight between Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen. With 239 for the Renault driver and 224 for his rival, there are just 15 laps between the two.
