Following the 2005 Italian Grand Prix it became mathematically impossible for Schumacher to retain his title, though in reality the possibility was remote for most of the season. On September 25th, 2005, and after ruling Formula One as its champion for 1,813 consecutive days, Michael finally relinquished his crown to Fernando Alonso of Spain.
