Description

Fernando Alonso won the 2006 Canadian Grand Prix driving for Renault, dominating the weekend by taking both pole position and the race victory. The event took place on 25 June 2006 at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, marking the ninth round of the 2006 Formula One season.
Alonso cleanly converted his pole position into an early lead. McLaren's Kimi Räikkönen mounted a strong challenge but suffered a delayed pit stop due to a wheel issue, as well as a later stall in the pit lane.A late safety car, triggered by home-favourite Jacques Villeneuve crashing into the wall, bunched up the pack for the final laps. In the closing stages, Räikkönen made a crucial mistake at the final chicane, allowing Michael Schumacher to overtake him for second place on lap 69. Alonso took his sixth victory of the season, extending his championship lead.
