    Fernando Alonso’s swelling emotions poured out in the form of tears as “La Marcha Real,” Spain’s National Anthem, played as he towered on the podium. Oakley’s own F1 Superstar, reviving Ferrari’s dreams of a Championship this season, stood proud as the first driver this season to claim two Formula 1 wins – on his home turf, at that. Cap that off with his push back up to the top in the points standings (111 points – 20 ahead of second) and his 29th overall win following a dramatic, incident-lined European Grand Prix in Valencia (Spain). “This race is probably the best victory I have ever felt,” the two-time Formula 1 World Champion said, rocking his Oakley eyewear. “In terms of emotions, nothing compares to this.”
