Not as exciting as Canada but at least they all started this week!
Fernando Alonso qualified his Renault on the pole and led from start to finish at today’s French Grand Prix. This is his fifth and Renault’s sixth win of the season and there was a huge contingent from Renault there to cheer him home.
Michelin is based very close to Magny Cours and they must also have been grateful for a victory and such an unevenful race.
Kimi Raikkonen and Michael Schumacher rounded out the top three and they were also the only cars that Alonso hadn’t lapped by the end of the race.
