One of the most significant moments in recent F1 history – the day Michael Schumacher announced his ‘first’ retirement.
Within minutes of sending the Tifosi wild by winning Ferrari’s home race and cutting Renault rival Fernando Alonso’s title advantage to two points, Michael Schumacher ended months of speculation over his future by confirming he would be retiring at the end of the 2006 season, which still had two races to run.
Sitting alongside Schumacher in the post-race press conference was second-placed Kimi Raikkonen, who was announced as the German’s replacement for 2007 on that same day.
