In the magazine: How Ferrari outwitted Red Bull
The highlight of the UK motorsport season, the British Grand Prix, threw up an unexpected winner in the shape of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso. This week's AUTOSPORT magazine unearths how they managed it
The British Grand Prix was supposed to be all about Red Bull, but then along came Fernando Alonso, an improved Ferrari, a couple of bungled Red Bull pitstops and a generally botched race by McLaren - and suddenly we had the perfect 60th anniversary of Froilan Gonzalez's landmark 1951 win for the Scuderia.
Mark Hughes takes you through the nuances of a compelling race at Silverstone that provided twists and turns throughout and gave Alonso emotions that were probably quite similar to those Gonzalez experienced on a very different Silverstone circuit all those years ago.
