F1: Michael Schumacher at his best - Top 5 races of all time

#1 Chinese Grand Prix, 2006

Schumacher rejoicing his last title during Chinese Grand Prix 2006

Who knew that this Chinese GP race win for Schumacher, his 91st win would be his last. It never seemed like the last race of a retiring (though he later made a comeback from retirement) champ with such decorated career stats. The protagonist who started the race at sixth place went on to win the race leading the runner-up Alonso by three seconds.

Schumacher’s hunt at Shangai started on the 8th lap when he overtook Barrichello for the fifth position. Then he passed Jenson Button for the fourth position during the 14th lap. At this stage, Alonso would have least knew that Schumi who is 25 seconds behind him at the fourth place would lead him by 3 seconds in the end. Fisichella was caught by Schumacher at 19th lap who was gaining on Alonso, as Alonso was struggling with his tires with the track was getting dried up. After the pitstops, the race leading trio Fisichella, Alonso and Schumacher were racing nose to tail for several laps until Schumacher overtook Alonso and Fisichella at the 31st lap. Though Alonso was able to regain his speed changing his ripped off tires, clocking fastest laps, ran out of time to catch up with the legend.
