2006 FIA Formula One World Championship Review


In 55 years, only seven men have won back to back World Championships. 2006 changed all that. Fernando Alsonso 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 sex wings 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 favor. 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.

Watch Button's fiery exit in Australia and his blaze of glory in Hungary. Ride on board with Liuzzi as Raikkonen drives over him! Feel the emotion as Massa wins in Brazil and Michael Schumacher bows out of Formula One, after a charge through the field. Michael at his best.

Get to the heart of this sensational sport with original interviews and never seen before footage as Fernando does it once again!
