November 10th 2006 21:15
McLaren had a beautiful looking car and it seemed to be very fast, unfortunately for both the team and the drivers it did not work out as well. Mclaren however finished third managing to gain 24 points lead to Honda thanks to Kimi Raikkonen's struggle with a car that refused to do anything right. Kimmi's best result was second in Australia and third in Bahrain, Britain, Canada and Germany. Juan Pablo Montoya had his best in Monaco where he finished second before leaving formula one and taking up Indicar racing. Kimmi however was one of the most impressive drivers in 2006 , he had some real good drives but unfortunately he could not finish most of the races. The Car seemed to have over heating problems, steering trouble, gear box jams, name it the car faced it. Honda too had a season to forget, however they could take home more than Mclaren. Another driver who impressed most watchers was Button finishing first at Hungaroring. Alonso did not finish the race after he lost his right rear tyre. Schumacher did not make good after crashing with Pedro de la Rosa. The Italian Grand Prix heard the much awaited announcement that Micheal Schumacher was goin to retire at the end of the season being replaced by Kimmi Raikkonen a well deserved postion for Kimmi, believed to be a great driver who had more potential than anyone else on the track. Micheal Schumacher won the Italian Grand Prix without a challenge from anyone after Alonso struck a flat in the qualifier and he started P10 on the grid and latter retired. The end of the season saw the anouncement of the class of 2007 to be. In 2007 two more teams the Spiker MFI and Toro Rosso will be using Ferrari engines and Williams will use a Toyota engine.

He should get a reliable car next season with Ferrari and if McLaren don't pick their socks up, Alonso is going to regret the switch from Renault.
