Fernando Alonso became the fourth winningest driver in Formula One history with his win in the Spanish Grand Prix Sunday, May 11. The Ferrari driver was also the first to win a dry race at Barcelona from further back on the grid than fourth.
Alonso attacked right from the start, passing two cars in the first two corners and pushing hard throughout the race. He had the crowd cheering with every overtaking maneuver, and in the closing laps it seemed everyone in the grandstands were on their feet and cheering as it became clear the Spanish native would take the win.
