Alonso celebrates historic milestone

FERNANDO ALONSO celebrated a key milestone in Ferrari’s history at Silverstone yesterday — and then created a little slice of his own by taking a superb victory in an action-packed British Grand Prix.

Alonso was at his imperious best as he made the most of changeable conditions to claim the Scuderia’s first victory of the season.

The win was Alonso’s 27th in F1 — taking him joint fifth in the list of all-time winners, level with Jackie Stewart — and came just hours after the Spaniard delighted the Silverstone crowd by taking to the track for two demonstration laps in one of the team’s classic cars.
