Preview - British Grand Prix 2006

Thursday, 8th June 2006

It may lack the glitz and glamour of Monaco but in terms of heritage and atmosphere, Silverstone and the British Grand Prix comes a close second to the street circuit.

Alonso came second, ahead of Raikkonen who had fought from 12th on the grid following an engine change, just ahead of the luckless Fisichella, who lost the chance of a podium when he stalled coming out of his second pit stop.

Having started on the front row, Jenson Button slipped back to take a distant fifth place, ahead of the two Ferraris and Ralf Schumacher’s Toyota.
