In 55 years only seven men have won back to back World Championships. 2006 changed all that. Fernando Alonso became the eighth member of the elite group and the youngest.
The season kicked off with new drivers, new teams and a brand new knockout format for qualifying. RENAULT picked up where they left off with six wins out of eight. By Canada they looked to have it in the bag, but the might of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari should never be discounted.
USA was the turning point, with everything falling in FERRARI’s favour. After China the frontrunners were equal on points but Michael had the advantage with one more win under his belt. The battle for both titles would be won and lost in the last two races.
