2005 San Marino Grand PrixHello and welcome to the 2005 San Marino Grand Prix. Yesterday in qualifying Williams were once again the team to beat but will they dominate the race? Can the Ferrari's or the Mclaren of Alonso have a say in the race? Let's find out!
Lap 62/62It's lights out and away we go.
Michael Schumacher takes the lead!
A good start for Barrichello, he's up to 4th.
Lap 61/62A look at the order after the opening lap.
A big spin for Raikkonen! That'll drop him down the field.
Lap 60/62Off goes Timo Glock in the Mclaren.
Maldonado has an issue, he's out with transmission failure.
Lap 59/62Back to Timo Glock and he's out! He's beached the Mclaren.
Lap 58/62Sato is piling on the pressure looking to pass Barrichello for 3rd.
Lap 54/62A spin for Lotterer but he keeps the car going and rejoins in 19th.
Lap 53/62It's proving difficult to overtake out there, Sato is still stuck behind Barrichello.
Lap 51/62Another driver off, this time it's Massa.
He's done a Glock and beached it. He won't be repeating his win from last season.
Lap 50/62Now it's Vettel off, he does well to keep going in 14th, only dropping a few places.
Lap 49/62A mistake from Davidson. That'll allow Hamilton through into 7th.
Lap 47/62Another mistake from Davidson in the Jaguar.
Lap 46/62It's a costly one, the Brit is out of the race.
Lap 45/62Kimi Raikkonen is stuck behind Dixon and Senna towards the back, this is really hurting his race.
Lap 41/62Sato, who was still stuck behind Barrichello, is the first to pit. Rosberg and Raikkonen also pit.
Lap 40/62Vettel is the latest man to spin-off.
He's out of the race.

Lap 34/62A look at the order after the first round of stops.
Lap 33/62That's not looking good for Alonso.
He's out of the race. He'll be gutted as he was running in 2nd.

Lap 25/62The order with 25 laps to go.
Kimi Raikkonen dives down the inside of Lotterer for 11th.
Lap 19/62Sato is being held up by his teammate Montoya at the moment. Definitely no sign of team orders at Ferrari.
Lap 17/62Castro-Neves is off!
He's done the same as Glock, Massa, Vettel and Davidson, he's out of the race.
Barrichello, Villeneuve and Hamilton are the first drivers to stop for a second time.
Lap 16/62Robert Kubica is the next man to pit.
Lap 15/62Sato pits from 3rd, can he jump his teammate? De La Rosa also pits.

Speaking of which, in he comes. Rosberg and Raikkonen also pit.
Lap 12/62Senna pits from 12th.
Lap 11/62Petrov and Dixon complete the second round of stops.
Lap 9/62The order with the 2nd stops completed. Kubica in 5th could be on for points!!
Lap 5/62With 5 laps to go it could be a superb battle between Lotterer and Raikkonen for the final championship point.
Barrichello is looking good for the win.
Lap 1/62A disaster for Lotterer! He's made a mistake and that'll drop him out the points.
Lap 0/62Rubens Barrichello wins the San Marino Grand Prix.
Montoya comes home 2nd.
With Sato 3rd.
