Reigning World Champion Fernando Alonso led home Ferrari's Michael Schumacher by a tiny 1.246s at the end of the exciting 57 lap series-opening Bahrain Grand Prix at Sakhir on Sunday. The Ferrari driver had led for most of the first 36 laps, but when Alonso emerged from the pits on lap 40, he just got out in the lead, and was able to hold on to the chequered flag. The pair were 18 seconds ahead of nearest challenger Kimi Raikkonen, who had started at the back of the grid.

Melbourne race

Wednesday, 22 February 2012 22:38
Melbourne, 2nd April 2006 - Fernando Alonso continued Renault's relentless domination of the 2006 Grand Prix season with victory in Sunday's action-packed Australian Grand Prix. Shortened to 57 laps when Alonso's teammate Giancarlo Fisichella stalled on the grid, the race featured no less than four safety car periods which cut Alonso's lead to nothing each time. But a damaged nose section and greater difficulty getting his tyres up to temperature meant that second place Kimi Raikkonen was unable to challenge the Renault driver.
