2006 Brazilian GP: Facts & Stats
Sean Kelly analyses the results and the stats from the Brazilian Grand Prix, and he offers perspective on the performance of the drivers and teams
Fernando Alonso won the world championship, Felipe Massa won the race, but it is Michael Schumacher's contribution to a thrilling Brazilian Grand Prix that will live longest in the memory.
Having only won once in his career when starting lower than seventh on the grid (something he's done 24 times overall), perhaps we shouldn't have expected Schumacher to be a contender for victory at Interlagos, but there's no doubting that his pace was more than good enough.
