The Williams team who today took their first win since 2004 at the Spanish GrandPrix in Barcelona had to cut short their celebrations as a huge fire engulfed their garage. The team's up and down the pitlane rushed to help put out the fire however 31 people including 4 Williams mechanics were injured.
The fire broke following a fuel and KERS explosion while the team were draining a car for transport. In a dramatic scene smoke swept across the paddock complex in Barcelona and the FIA, Williams and local police have launched separate investigations into the incident.
The race itself was won by Williams driver Pastor Maldonado, who scored his first ever podium and as I said in the introduction the team's first win since 2004. Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was second in a heavily revised car while for the second race in a row Kimi Raikkonen was on the podium again for Lotus as the Iceman finished 3rd.
Lotus are really having a very strong season so far and with five different winners in the first five races as the team's head to Monaco could Lotus be next? We'll have to wait and see. I would love to se the Lotus team win.
