F1 2006 Canadian Grand Prix Extended Highlights

[@As-qz5lr]

2006 to 2007 feel like completely different eras in the sport. Alonso leaving his championship winning light blue Renaults, Kimi leaving the silver McLarens where he became a star. And of course Schumacher leaving and Hamilton joining, one megastar transferred for another that the sport seemed to be centred around (especially on British TV).

[@F1Hub-fw8un]

I agree but they are in the same period 2005-2009 where there was a new champion every year. Obviously next was 2010-2013

Raikkonen was putting Alonso under pressure and nearly passed him.

[@tristanwhite3472]

I agree Schumacher and David Coulthard drivers of the day the oldest drivers and most experienced and it showed on difficult track conditions. Jarno Trulli also did a great job.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Jarno Trulli and Fisichella were his best friends in F1 both Italians.

[@tristanwhite3472]

2006 Chinese GP was also a great race.

[@A.Northernlights]

All arrogance up in smoke in 2007😂

[@tristanwhite3472]

David Coulthard said it was the Hardest Canadian GP he had raced on.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Alonso has said Fisichella was his best friend in F1 and favourite team mate. Only because he didn’t challenge him for the title. 😆🤣😂

[@tristanwhite3472]

This Fisichella favourite race track and Spa and Monaco but especially here. Alonso & Schumacher also like it.

[@tristanwhite3472]

The front 3 finished as the teams finished at the end of the season in the constructors championship. 1st Renault, 2nd Ferrari, 3rd McLaren, in the race and the Constructors championship at the end of the season.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Not revelant I know just thought I will say it.

[@tristanwhite3472]

It was Raikkonen’s mistake at the Hairpin ran wide onto the Marbles which allowed Michael Schumacher to pass him.

[@tristanwhite3472]

The two oldest drivers in F1 putting in great performances Michael Schumacher and David Coulthard experience on a track like this and they avoided the marbles.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Fisichella had the chance to get a 1-2 finish for the team or maybe even a win but he blew it at the start. He jumped the start very poor error he qualified on the front row had the pace of Alonso. Jump start cost him a podium finish finished 4th in the end not to bad.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Very good drive by Jarno Trulli 6th place best of the rest. Massa, Fisichella, Raikkonen, ahead of him.

What a shame McLaren didn’t win a race in 2006 because it was such a good looking car sexy car and Kimi Raikkonen definitely deserved to win a race or 2 but didn’t because of poor Reliability and he crashed into the back of Liuzzi at the 2006 Hungarian GP. Kimi deserved to win a race or 2 because of how good he was.

[@glaize5005]

Agree. Its as if the wind itself shaped the car. Beautiful, slender and elegant lines. Having the features of its predecessor, the MP4/20 but with a slender nose and the last McLaren with inputs from Adrian Newey himself. Too bad they were not able to iron out those mechanical troubles until the following year with the MP4/22. This car, the MP4/19, 20, 22 and 23 for me are the best looking F1 cars in any given era.

[@garynorris8492]

Montoya hold's the fastest lap in Grand Prix history. But he was a fast bull in a circuit china shop, when driving on race day!

[@tristanwhite3472]

You get on the Rubber the Marbles no grip at all slide of track or crash or no traction no grip. As Raikkonen found out and Villeneurve and a few others.

[@tristanwhite3472]

David Coulthard said it was the most Difficult Canadian GP he had done because of the condition of the track.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Schumacher stuck behind Trulli. Martin Brundle and James Allen said Michael Schumacher and David Coulthard both putting in great performances the 2 oldest drivers very experienced and the experience showed because the track Conditions were awful. The marbles if you go off line you end up on the marbles and spin or crash or struggle for traction like Raikkonen did when Schumacher went past him at the end.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Giancarlo Fisichella had a great record at Montreal but he should have done better this year.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Fisichella great qualifying performance but threw it away at the start. Jumped the start.

[@tristanwhite3472]

No points for Honda great Point for Coulthard brilliant drive by him and Schumacher and Alonso still a top drive by Kimi despite his mistake running wide onto the Marbles loosing 2nd place to Schumacher.DAM!

[@tristanwhite3472]

Fisichella and Raikkonen Blew it.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Should of got on the Podium at least.
