2006 British GP: Facts & Stats
Sean Kelly analyses the results and the stats from the British Grand Prix, and he offers perspective on the performance of the drivers and teams
It's starting to look like 2002 and 2004 all over again - except this time the car at the front is a Renault and not a Ferrari, and the driver is Fernando Alonso and not Michael Schumacher.
For the fifth time this season, the Spaniard emerged the race winner, and his victory never looked in doubt right from the get-go. After the early safety car period was over, Alonso set the fastest lap eight times in nine laps, and immediately following the first pitstops he was circulating in the 1:22.5 range while no other driver could get below 1:23.
