Alonso wins on home turf

Fernando Alonso ended a seven-year wait to claim his second Spanish Grand Prix triumph to thrill his fans in Barcelona.

Ferrari and Alonso managed the strategy to ensure the 31-year-old took the chequered flag for the 32nd time in his career, in a race featuring a staggering 82 pit stops as Pirelli’s degrading rubber again seemingly played too much of a role in the outcome for all concerned.
