Suzuka - The Race - Part1
Hello and welcome everybody to the penultimate round of the 2005 Formula 1 Season here at Suzuka. The Championship battle is still open, with Felipe Massa currently leading by 7 points in front of Jacques Villeneuve. Schumacher, Alonso and Vettel are too still in the fight, and especially the first two of them have a good chance to close the gap today as they start from the first row, with Massa only in 12 place.
At the moment we have heave rain out there, and the predictions all say that it will stay like this the whole race. The drivers are just coming back from the formation lap and are lining up now, so lets go straight to the track for the race.
We're onboard with polesetter Michael Schumacher as the red lights go on
And it's go go go!
Schumacher with a great start keeps the lead
At the back da Matta tries to get some places on the inside
Indeed a fantastic start for him, he's up 5 places
As we can see Doornbos has passed Lotterer and is now behind Alonso in third
he has a first look
Kubica with a bad start, he has dropped 3 positions
The first lap isn't completed yet, and Schumacher already has a gap of 2 seconds
Vettel fighting for 5th with Button, and it seems that Doornbos has passed Alonso
He has! Here we see a replay of the overtaking manoeuvre
Vettel looses many places here, and in the back Villeneuve gets pushed off the track
And that's Raikkonen going off in the first corner! He can continue, but drops back to last
Vettel is off! This drops him behind Raikkonen
Button passes Lotterer on the way to 130R
Massa does the same with Villeneuve a few seconds later
Now Davidson has run wide! The track is really slippery
Lets have a look at the standings
That's Rosberg off the track at turn 9!
Zonta goes off aswell! Both can continue, they're now in 20th and 21st position
Button goes out of the slipstream and passes Alonso
And Barrichello overtakes Lotterer
Montagny has lost it on the way to Casio triangle!
Both Toyotas fighting through the field
It looks like Doornbos can close the gap to Schumacher
Sato attacks Lotterer for 6th
and gets past
One lap later his teammate Fisichella tries too
and Lotterer loses another place
Another driver losing the control of his car at Casio triangle, now it's Glock
He drops back to 19th
Alonso struggling in this wet conditions, Barrichello is now right behind him, but i doubt that he sees much there
Missed by the cameras Coulthard also has passed Lotterer
And that doesn't look good for da Matta, a gearbox failure forces him to retire
Both BARs have closed the gap to Alonso and Barrichello
Watching Lotterer and Massa as Vettel sets a new fastest lap
The other Jordan too under pressure
Barrichello pulls out to pass Alonso
As does Massa to pass Lotterer. Only Massa succeeds
Unseen by the cameras Rosberg has passed Raikkonen
Much happening right now, lets look at the standings again
Zonta is the first to pit, but this one wasn't planned, he has electrical problems
Doornbos attacks Schumacher for the lead, but the German can keep him behind
Villeneuve has passed Lotterer, and both RedBulls want too
Kubica takes the inside, and it looks like Webber has lost the control of his car!
He has!
And Villeneuve too! Kubica is the big winner in this situation, he gains 3 positions
Doornbos attacks Schumacher again!
And he gets in the lead of the race!
Fisichella gets past his teammate, up into 6th place
Schumacher fights back in the Spoon!
Now Button attacks his teammate for 2nd
He passes him in 130R
A german duel here, Ralf Schumacher passes Lotterer
Rosberg passes Davidson at the same place
Sato is off at turn 1! He continues in 16th place
Villeneuve has run wide
as consequence Vettel is now right behind him
He gets out of the slipstream on the way to 130R
and gets past the Williams driver
The gap between the first three is still small
Ralf Schumacher already up in 10th place
Barrichello tries to pass Alonso, but the Ferrari has the higher speed
and Barrichello brakes too late and bumps into Alonso's rear!
This pushes the Ferrari off the track. Barrichello now in 4th, Alonso in last place
Doornbos re-overtakes his teammate
Alonso is off the track again!
And this is the end of his race
We're now in lap13, and these are the current standings
Rosberg comes in for his first stop, seems that he's on a 3 stop strategy
Raikkonen is now behind his teammate, although he has spun off in the first laps
Now Button is back in 2nd place
Barrichello in 4th, with 4 cars very close behind him
And it's time for a commercial break now. Stay tuned for part2!

So the title will be decided at the last race, very interesting...
Also I'm not going to bother posting the available drivers as I didn't receive any new bids, however I believe Toyota are the final team that are still without a third driver for 2006.
And thanks again Kedy, do we have any volunteers to run the final round? I can get the mod updated today if anyone can.
