Lap 45/57
A look at the order with 45 laps to go.
Lap 43/57

The race order after the first round of stops.

That's one sick-looking Jaguar. A shame for Davidson as he was running just outside the points in 9th.
Oh my! Two in one lap and we'll have a new winner in 2005, Michael Schumacher is out!
Lap 29/57
Sato's looking good for the win at the halfway stage.
Lap 26/57
Montoya looks to be closing down Alonso, are we about to have some wheel-to-wheel action?
Lap 24/57
Here we go! Some action!
De La Rosa passes Villeneuve for 8th.
Lap 21/57
Montoya is the first man to pit for a second time. Will Mclaren react?

Well done, team. After the heartbreak in Malaysia, a good race to get us at the top of the standings.

A complete disaster this weekend, we should have finished with both cars inside the top 8, we are going to investigate the engines to fix whatever broke in both cars

A tough battle will ensue with both McLaren and Williams, only good strategy and no mechanical failures or crashes will help us beat them.
