FERNANDO ALONSO, MASSA Y EL EQUIPO FERRARI YA ESTÁN EN LANZAROTE

El equipo de la escudería Ferrari, con Fernando Alonso y Felipe Massa, ya están en la Isla. Han llegado este mediodía a Guacimeta en un vuelo de Iberia procedente de Madrid. Unas 25 personas, entre ellos los pilotos, harán la preparación en la Santa Sport. Una multitud de seguidores de estos jóvenes pilotos se concentraron en el edificio terminal del aeropuerto conejero, tal y como muestra la imagen de Lanzarotedeportiva.com/ Sergio Betancort.

As usual I am trying to skim read the Spanish and have gleaned that the Ferrari team with Alonso and Massa arrived on the island in a party of 25 in the middle of the day on a flight from Madrid and will be training at La Santa.  The article then talks about a lot of fans turning up at the airport as shown in the photo.  Why is the future tense "se concentraron" used for that bit or have I misunderstood?

Sorry, I have no idea - way out of my pay grade

Wow, they must've been listening to Jensen Button, he spends 6 weeks every year winter training in Lanza, and really does as much as he can to publicise the island.

This will be very goodublicity for the island.
