5 Interesting Incidents at the Spanish Grand Prix

#2 Alonso\'s first win at home

Alonso celebrates after winning the Spanish Grand Prix at Catalunya in 2006

By then one of the youngest rising champions in Formula one, Fernando Alonso had been denied the Spanish Grand Prix in 2005 by Kimi Raikkonen. He came second that race, as he had done in 2003

The following year, however, driving for Renault, everything seemed to fall into place for the Spaniard, who beat out Michael Schumacher and Alonso’s own Italian teammate, Giancarlo Fisichella, for the title. He celebrated his first home win by dancing on the podium.
