The 67-lap race was the twelfth round of the [[2006 Formula One season]].
[[Kimi Räikkönen]] took pole position, but it proved artificial, as McLaren had inadvertently not put enough fuel as intended in his car before [[Formula One racing#Qualifying|qualifying]]. In the race, his early pitstop left him unable to challenge for the win. [[Michael Schumacher]] scored his 89th career win ahead of teammate [[Felipe Massa]].
The race also saw the last appearance by {{f1|1997}} champion [[Jacques Villeneuve]], who blamed the split on the "lack of assurances about his short-term future with BMW Sauber".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/5243540.stm|title=Villeneuve parts company with BMW|work=BBC Sport|date=7 August 2006|access-date=3 April 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns17285.html|title=Au revoir Jacques|publisher=GrandPrix.com|date=7 August 2006|access-date=21 August 2006| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20060831104458/http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns17285.html| archive-date= 31 August 2006 | url-status= live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns17241.html |title=Kubica replaces Villeneuve |publisher=GrandPrix.com |date=1 August 2006 |access-date=21 August 2006 }}</ref> [[Robert Kubica]] was promoted to drive in all the remaining Grands Prix.
==Background== The Grand Prix weekend got off to a controversial start when the [[mass damper]] system fitted by [[Renault F1|Renault]] was deemed legal by the FIA appointed stewards, despite the FIA banning the use of these devices. The FIA appealed against their own steward's decision and Renault withdrew the system after [[Formula One racing#Free practice|Friday practice]] to avoid further sanctions.

The first part ran for 15 minutes, and cars that finished the session 17th position or lower were eliminated from qualifying. The second part of the qualifying session lasted 15 minutes and eliminated cars that finished in positions 11 to 16. The final part of the qualifying session ran for 20 minutes which determined the positions from first to tenth, and decided pole position. Cars which failed to make the final session could refuel before the race, so ran lighter in those sessions.<ref name="sportingregulations"/>
[[Kimi Räikkönen]] scored his ninth career [[pole position]] ahead of the [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]]s of [[Michael Schumacher]] and [[Felipe Massa]].

==Race==
===Race report=== [[File:Villeneuve Germany2006.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Jacques Villeneuve]] walks away from his crashed [[BMW Sauber F1.06|F1.06]] in his final F1 race.]] Many questioned the sudden pace of [[Kimi Räikkönen]] and the sudden lack of it at the [[Renault F1|Renault]] team. Soon after the start of the race, the first question was answered: [[McLaren]] had put a minimum amount of fuel in Räikkönen's car, forcing him to make a [[pit stop]] after just ten laps. And it became a long stop when his crew had problems changing the right rear tyre. All this meant that the [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]] duo of [[Michael Schumacher]] and [[Felipe Massa]] sailed off into the distance, with [[Jenson Button]] in the [[Honda F1|Honda]] and the Renaults of [[Giancarlo Fisichella]] and [[Fernando Alonso]] chasing behind.
Schumacher made his first stop without losing the lead. Meanwhile, Alonso was down in sixth behind [[Mark Webber (racing driver)|Mark Webber]]. The [[Australia]]n had started down in eleventh but later even passed Fisichella for fourth. During the second round of pit stops, Fisichella went off track and was passed by his teammate.
Schumacher and Massa scored a comfortable 1-2. It was the [[Germany|German]]'s 89th career win. Räikkönen used the unplanned third-stop strategy to its best to fight off Webber and overtake Button to take the third step on the podium. In the final stages, Webber's car developed an engine problem and he retired on lap 59.
[[Jacques Villeneuve]] had crashed his [[BMW in Formula One|BMW]] on lap 30. It would turn out to be the last race of his career.
[[Midland F1 Racing|Midland]] drivers [[Christijan Albers]] and [[Tiago Monteiro]] were disqualified after the race for having illegally flexing rear wings.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2006/7/4730.html |title=Midlands disqualified over rear-wing flex |date=30 June 2006 |work=formula1.com |publisher=[[Formula One Group|Formula One Administration]] |access-date=9 August 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080828183342/http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2006/7/4730.html |archive-date=28 August 2008 }}</ref>
