Mighty Montoya's Maiden Mclaren Win
[I]Juan Pablo Montoya put in a typically combative performance to win his first race for McLaren in the British Grand Prix. Fernando Alonso finished a fighting second, with Kimi Raikkonen third.[/I]
Juan Pablo Montoya scored a long-overdue maiden victory for McLaren at the British Grand Prix, withstanding race-long pressure from world championship leader Fernando Alonso.
In a microcosm of this year’s title battle, the race was all about McLaren and Renault. No one else got a look in.
Alonso clung on tenaciously right to the end, but there was no way that JPM was going to give away a lead he took in a ballsy move right at the start of the race.
Giancarlo Fisichella probably should have finished third, but a stall at his final pit stop ensured that Kimi Raikkonen claimed the final podium position.
The Finn, who was the pre-race favourite, stormed through in his patented style from 12th on the grid after incurring a 10-place penalty for an engine change in practice.
