Fernando Alonso the young Formula One driver wins the 2006 season as World Champion for the second year straight. When Alonso won the 2005 Championship, he was the youngest driver to do so in Formula One history. To top that off, he broke a four year winning streak of Michael Schumacher that same year. Many people wondered if the 2005 win for Fernando was a fluke since it was his first. But this year he proves himself again as a champion.
I have been watching almost every race since the beginning of the 2005 season. Fernando is a superb driver for his age. He is so mature, and keeps his cool even in the tensest moments. Many young drivers have a problem with keeping their cool, they try to give it all they got and overdue it then crash or damage their car. Not Fernando, this is why he can stack up so many points through the season. He simply races smart, often more concerned about finishing the race in the points rather than finishing first. Sometimes finishing first during a race can be to too risky and that is where he knows to keep his cool.
This is also the year Michael Schumacher is retiring from Formula One. Many hoped Schumacher would win this season especially since it is his last. Even if he did not win this year, he still broke all Formula One records in his career including Seven times World Champion. Schumacher was so close this season, but it seemed like the year was Fernando's. I'm not saying the Championship was easily handed to Fernando this year. No way, all though Fernando started the 2006 season dominating, Schumacher quickly caught up and with two races to go they were tied in the points. That is amazing, it was a fun season to watch with some close competition. When the two were tied in the points at Suzuka Japan, Schumacher’s engine blew out while Fernando took first and finished the race. This put Fernando at a huge points advantage because there was only one race to go.
Schumacher is a great driver and he proved it this season. The last race at Interlagos - Sao Paulo Brazil was amazing! Schumacher started the race in 10th place because of some qualifying problems. But he quickly moved up to 5th and got ready to overtake Fisichella. While trying to overtake Fisichella, Schumacher’s Ferrari got a tire puncture. He drove slowly a whole lap with a flat tire in to the pits. This put him in last place and almost a lap down from the leader. What is amazing about this driver, by the end of the race he caught up to the front and finished in fourth place! I have never seen driving like that, it is like he had turbo on his car and no one else did.
But again, the year still goes to Fernando Alonso, he deserves every bit of it. A very talented driver already and such a great career ahead of him because he is till young. Congratulations Fernando, you have done it. You are World Champion again!
