#4 Crowning of Fernando Alonso as the youngest ever Formula One World Champion at the time
The 17th round of the 2005 Formula One season saw Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen battling it out for the Driver's Championship with 2 more races left in the season. Kimi only had a mathematical chance of taking the Championship to Round 18 and was heavily dependent on other outcomes going his way.

Fernando Alonso started on pole but was edged out by the two McLarens. It was the first 1-2 start for McLaren-Mercedes since the 2000 Austrian Grand Prix with Juan Pablo Montoya taking the chequered flag followed closely by his teammate Kimi Raikkonen in second.
Alonso took the third position on the podium and it was enough for him to claim the Championship. In the process, he became the youngest Formula One World Champion at the time. However, it was a bittersweet moment for his Team Renault as they squandered the lead in the Constructors' Championship to McLaren-Mercedes.
