Australian Grand Prix 2006 :

Alonso took the third win for Renault in this third Grand Prix of the 2006 season. Alonso started from 3 position. Fisichella had a starting position of 2 but had a problem at the grid resulting in a start from the pit. But even with that he secured a 5 place and thereby securing vital points to the constructors title.

Spain 2006 :

Alonso took the fourth win for Renault as he started from pole position and Fisichella from position 2 and finishing as third.

Monaco 2006 :

Alonso took the fifth win for Renault as he started from pole position after Michael tried to spoil his fastest lap by parking the Ferrari on track during the qualifications last minute.

Silverstone 2006 :

Alonso took the sixth win for Renault as he started from pole position with Fisichella starting from fifth position. Fisichella ended at fourth position.

Canada 2006 :

Alonso took the seventh win for Renault as he started from pole position with Fisichella starting from second position. Fisichella finished fourth. This was the fourth win in a row for Alonso this season.

Japan 2006 :

Alonso took the eigth win for Renault as he started from  position 5 with Fisichella starting from position 6. Fisichella finished in third place. This was the fourth win in a row for Alonso this season.

This was a very important win for Renault as it has lost quite some speed after the FIA first said (to the race in Germany) that mass-dampers probably was illegal and then later on banned the mass-dampers, that has been used since late 2005 (Very very strange decision). This was a major setback for Renault and a again FIA handed over a great advantage to Ferrari.

A great win for the whole team.
