Video: Alonso and Renault revive the past in Abu Dhabi

Fernando Alonso - and the entire F1 paddock - took a trip down memory lane on Friday afternoon in Abu Dhabi when the Spaniard ran a few hot laps onboard his 2005 championship winning Renault R25.

It was a sight and sound from a bygone era as Alonso manhandled the V10-powered howling machine around Yas Marina.

Check out the video hereunder and our gallery of pictures from Friday's demo run.
