How Alonso won the title
Hockenheim, 30 July 2006
Fernando Alonso - 100 points Michael Schumacher - 89 points
Renault, so dominant in the first half of the season, saw their fortunes continue to worsen with the banning of their "mass damper" system in late July.
The FIA's decision forced the team - already struggling against a resurgent Ferrari - to remove the counterweight device from inside the nose of their cars.
At the next race, in Germany, Alonso suffered tyre problems and mustered only fifth as Schumacher took a third straight win.
