Kimi R�ikk�nen and McLaren-Mercedes enjoyed an almost-perfect weekend in Barcelona, as R�ikk�nen led from start to finish in the Spanish Grand Prix to record his first win of the Formula One season.
In so doing he broke the Renault stranglehold on the Manufacturers' Championship race and interrupted a streak of three straight wins by Fernando Alonso.
Racing in front of his adoring home fans, Alonso had to be content with second spot, which still keeps him in a comfortable lead in the drivers' standings.
The previous GP at Imola had seen wheel-to-wheel racing between Alonso and Ferrari's Michael Schumacher, and also a very quick McLaren until R�ikk�nen was forced to retire with a driveshaft failure. Hence the pundits had forecast real excitement and drama in Spain.
