Alonso triumphs in ‘crazy’ race

WORLD champion Fernando Alonso claimed he was never in danger of missing out on victory after a stroll in Albert Park to win a crash-filled Australian Grand Prix.

The Renault driver won comfortably despite four safety-car periods, giving him two victories from three races.

Once he overtook pole position man Jenson Button on lap four, Alonso was in complete control, despite a series of accidents behind him.
