Although a certain English driver might not have had the best weekend at the British Grand Prix, that didn���t stop a lot of English people celebrating the win by Renault and Fernando Alonso as the Renault F1 Team���s factory is only 30 minutes from Silverstone at Enstone.
And what a historic win it was too as Renault were celebrating winning the first ever Grand Prix 100 years ago at a small unknown town called Le Mans in France in June 1906.
The British Grand Prix also marked the 200th Grand Prix start for Renault F1 Team at the Silverstone circuit where the original Renault team made its debut 29 years ago in 1977, and what better way to celebrate such a prestigious achievement than a fantastic victory?!
Fernando Alonso took his third consecutive win of the 2006 season ��� and fifth in total this year - at the British Grand Prix, adding another first to his repertoire with his first F1 victory at Silverstone. Not only that, the weekend bought Alonso���s fourth pole position in a row and his eighth podium finish in eight races!
Team-mate Giancarlo Fisichella also pulled off a dynamic drive to finish in fourth position, just falling short of a podium finish as he shadowed Michael Schumacher and Kimi Raikkonen to the chequered flag.
