Schumacher continued at Toyota and was again partnered by Trulli for 2006.
He was ambitious for the upcoming season: saying, "We're looking to win some races.
That's what our target should be and let's hope it's a realistic one".
He started the season with a non-points finish in Bahrain as both Toyota cars were off the pace, but managed to score his and Toyota's first points of the season with eighth place in Malaysia.
He managed to secure his and Toyota's only podium finish of the season in Australia.

Schumacher took ninth place in San Marino, but suffered consecutive retirements in the next three races.
However, he was able to finish the next five consecutive races, which included points scoring positions in France, Hungary and Turkey.
He was unable to finish the races in China and Brazil, due to problems with his car's oil pressure and suspension respectively.
On 29 September, Schumacher was elected as the chairman of the Grand Prix Drivers Association (GPDA), the trade union of Formula One drivers.
He finished the season tenth in the Drivers' Championship, and scored 20 points.
