Description

The 2006 British Grand Prix was won by Fernando Alonso driving for Renault, who delivered a dominant performance at the Silverstone Circuit.The race took place on 11 June 2006 as the eighth round of the 2006 Formula One World Championship. Alonso secured a "hat-trick" during the weekend by claiming pole position, setting the fastest lap, and winning the race while leading 59 of the 60 laps.
Opening Lap Incident: A multi-car collision occurred through Becketts on the first lap when Scott Speed collided with Ralf Schumacher, who subsequently collected Mark Webber. Both Schumacher and Webber retired instantly, triggering a three-lap safety car period.
Local favourite Jenson Button had a miserable weekend, qualifying a disappointing 19th and retiring from the race on lap 8 due to an engine failure.
