The 2006 Drivers Review
Twenty-seven drivers took part in the 2006 Formula One season, including three world champions, 12 Grand Prix winners, six rookies, and five who failed to see out the season. Richard Barnes reviews the performance of all the drivers who took part in the 2006 championship
Fernando Alonso - Renault
World Champion
134 points
7 wins, 7 podiums, 6 pole positions, 5 fastest laps
Alonso may have cruised to his maiden title in 2005, but he was forced to fight every inch of the way during a tense second half in 2006.
