Description

Fernando Alonso won the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix driving for Renault, securing his first-ever victory at the iconic street circuit. The event took place on 28 May 2006 as the seventh round of the Formula 1 World Championship.
It is widely remembered for one of the most controversial qualifying sessions in the history of the sport, as well as landmark podium milestones.
During the final moments of the Q3 qualifying session, Michael Schumacher held the provisional pole position. On his final lap, he locked his wheels and stopped his Ferrari at the tight La Rascasse corner.The Fallout: This action triggered yellow flags, forcing his main title rival, Fernando Alonso, to abort a flying lap that was on pace for pole.The Penalty: Following an intensive investigation of telemetry, race stewards determined Schumacher's "parking" was intentional. He was stripped of all qualifying times and relegated to the back of the grid, ultimately electing to start from the pit lane.
The chaotic endings for front-runners paved the way for unexpected milestones on the podium. Juan Pablo Montoya finished second, which unexpectedly marked his 30th and final career podium in Formula 1. Capitalising on late retirements, David Coulthard drove a stellar race to finish third.
