Felipe Massa wins the 2006 Brazilian Grand Prix whilst Fernando Alonso takes his second straight Formula 1 World title. In his final ever F1 race 7 times Worlc Champion Michael Schumacher comes home 4th after an eventful Race!
The Toyota Drivers of Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher both suffer same problems with the rear of their cars and retire after running VERY strong early on. BMW-Sauber didnt score with Nick Heidfeld or Robert Kubica and both finish 5th and 6th in the constructors Championship with BMW-Sauber edging Toyota by 1 point. Renault win the Constructors title by 6 points with Alonso's second Place and Fisichella's 6th place giving them the edge over Ferrari. But this race was all about Michael Schumacher, from all in Formula 1 and from everyone at TTF1 goodbye, the one, the only; Michael Schumacher.
