The 56th Formula One World Championship featured a classic duel between two men who will go down in history among the sport's icons.
Spain's Fernando Alonso became the youngest double world champion ever, ironically toppling the record previously held by Michael Schumacher, the man whom he beat to the title. Alonso was 25 years and 85 days old at Interlagos, whereas Schumacher was 26 years and 292 days when he wrapped up title number two at the 1995 Pacific Grand Prix.
