Michael Schumacher (Ferrari) and Fernando Alonso (Renault) race in qualifying during the weekend of the 2006 French Grand Prix. Schumacher would snatch pole and claim victory in France, while Alonso qualified 3rd and finished in 2nd.
I wish we had Kimi Fernando Michael Rivalry for full 2005/2006 seasons. I have McLaren for that reason unreliable and fast and slow and fairly reliable in 2006
Without all the unneeded drama of today. Im sad I was too young to funny understand what was happening, but I remember my dad rooting for Schumi. Those were the days…
Fernando was the best driver to end Michael's dominance. Two complete drivers - super fast, mentally strong and tactically intelligent. Michael truly met his match.
Kimi was faster than either one of them, had his car not being complete shit box Kimi would have ended his dominance in 2003 already and would have easily won the championship in 2005. Fastest driver this century.
Mid to late eighties and nineties cars were generally better looking. Several of the MP4/x, Jordan 191, FW14/15/16 etc were clean and pretty beautiful.. the 1991 and 92 Ferrari were particularly stunning., the 93 wasn't so great but the 94 was also good.
Love this, James Allen literally scared of the close battle 🤣 Man 2006 was a great season Gutted Schumi didn’t get that 8th Championship 😢 But none the less 2 F1 greats at the top of their game just going for it, it was epic to watch. Fernando Alonso VS Michael Schumacher they had some great battles. We certainly could of done with more of this. 🤗❤️😎👊
James Allen just had a way with words.....and Martin Brundle complemented his mesmerizing style to the letter. What a commentary team... World class!!!
@@betacamsx-dallevhsallehdv11601 Thanks for the reply. Follow up...why wouldn't they just go out with less fuel? Was there a minimum weight or something?
@@sambaraka5228 by the times (2006-2009), 605 to 640 kg (no fuel). Around 650-680 kg (the lightest ones) to 700-730 kg (the heaviest ones) (left weight: 2006-08, right weight: 2009)
i loved this season…although i was really ummming and errinnnng when massa was under second ferrari and he was trifling, but then came though with some amazing victories but…alonso and michael..insane..definite two titans of this year. comments here say they were equal…to me? no..but close???…yeah….but schumi was still the supreme driver..and it was good to see that ferrari come back from 05..and take the challenge to renault
