Alonso wins fascinating European Grand Prix

Fernando Alonso secured a scintillating victory in Valencia after a somewhat chaotic European Grand Prix.

The Spaniard battled through from 11th on the grid to become 2012’s first repeat winner, handing him the championship lead after his main rivals failed to score.

The race looked to be in Sebastian Vettel’s hands before a safety car closed the pack. However it was a reliability issue that ended the German’s race.

Romain Grosjean then looked to be in charge before his alternator failed. That left Alonso to go largely unchallenged as he crossed the line as the eventual victor.
