Mclaren Mercedes
Great work from Nico to grab pole but so far this season pole has meant nothing in the race. Great by Seb too to get 5th.

USA Grand Prix Race Broadcast
Hello and welcome back to Indianapolis, the home of the 2005 USA grand prix. In yesterday's qualifying session Mclaren driver Nico Rosberg took his first ever F1 pole position with veteran Williams man Michael Schumacher alongside him on the front row. Will the curse of pole position that we have seen so much this season strike again or can Nico Rosberg take his first grand prix win? The red lights are on so lets find out.
The 2005 USA grand prix is go and Michael Schumacher has made an awful start
Barrichello looks to go around the outside of Rosberg in the first corner
The Mclaren driver stands firm but David Coulthard has managed to take 3rd
With a lap gone, here is the running order
Klien is having a look at Massa
He's never going to get through there
Klien's had to lift and now Kubica is all over the back of him
The Red Bull man is through
It's close towards the back of the field
Kubica is up the inside of Massa
Massa doesn't put up much of a fight and Kubica is through
Race leader Rosberg sets a new fastest lap
Alonso gets down the inside of Coulthard at turn one and is into 3rd
That doesn't look good for Schumacher, he's out
DaMatta is having a look at Heidfeld
Not this time
Heidfeld is now pressurizing Ralf Schumacher but there's no way through
Look away Macca25!! The Red Bull drivers are battling
Kubica safely makes it through down the inside into turn one
Massa looks very slow today
Now past Webber, Kubica sets a new fastest lap
Zonta is trying to get past Massa
He's easily through, what's going on with Massa?
Another fastest lap for Kubica as he looks to pass Glock
Glock holds firm
Villeneuve dives down the inside of Massa
Fisichella is through past Davidson
Kubica is on a charge and is now past Glock
Fisichella is now having a look at Massa
He can't get through this time around
Lotterer is through past Jenson Button
The race leader is in. He must be 3 stopping
Alonso is also in
Rosberg is safely out infront of the Spaniard
Vettel is under pressure from the rampant Kubica
The Pole is through
Massa is holding up more drivers. What has happened to the driver that won last time out?
That's the end for Barrichello. An engine problem for the Brazilian
Davidson becomes the latest driver to pass Massa
Kubica is right up behind race leader Coulthard
Rosberg is stuck in traffic. The 3 stopper is looking like a bad call from JohnWarrington
Kubica is through into the lead
But he pits at the end of the lap
After seeing off Raikkonen, Rosberg now has to get past Massa
A mistake from Massa and Rosberg is through
1 stopper Massa is holding up his teammate
And Kubica takes advantage to take 5th
Here's the current running order
Kubica is past Massa and into 4th
Massa is out with a transmission failure. Is that why he was so slow?
A water leak ends Mark Webber's race
Vettel has jumped Coulthard in the pits and the two rejoin in the thick of the action
Kubica pits
Race leader Vettel is safely through though which means Kubica still has a lot of work to do
A puncture ends the race of Nick Heidfeld
Here's the current top 8
Oh no!! Suspension failure for Robert Kubica. He was doing so well too.
Pole sitter Rosberg is under pressure
His team mate leads the race
He and Coulthard are looking good
Here is the running order
And the pitstops with them all done (I think)
I was wrong! Raikkonen is in.
Heartbreak for Glock! A loose wheel has cost him 5th place
Sebastian Vettel takes his second win of the season
David Coulthard is second
Ricardo Zonta grabs a podium for Arrows
Christian Klien finishes 4th
Jacques Villeneuve is 5th
Nico Rosberg is 6th
Giancarlo Fisichella ends the race in 7th
Andre Lotterer takes the last point
And that, as they say, is that. Thanks for tuning in to the 2005 United States grand prix and goodbye.

DOTD: Robert Kubica: His suspension failure cost him a certain win today. I have no doubts that he would of caught up and passed Vettel and Coulthard. He was on fire today.
Kovalainen Enters Formula One
Current GP2 driver and Sauber test driver Heikki Kovalainen, today announced that he had successfully secured a place in Formula next season. Although the young Finnish whether he would be racing or testing in Formula in the 2006 season, he did reveal that he will be making the switch from Sauber to Arrows, soon to be Super Aguri, on a two year deal worth around £13m. Kovalainen also revealed he had received an offer from Sauber, but instead chose to become Arrows second signing for 2006 after Timo Glock announced he would be staying with the team for the '06 and '07 seasons.
Lotterer Retained By Jordan
It came to little surprise in the paddock after Jordan that Andre Lotterer, who has driven for the current outfit for the previous two seasons, announced that he would be extending his stay at the, currently, Irish team. Jordan, who are of cause set to become Midland in 2006, revealed that their young German driver had committed his future to the team for the next two seasons in a deal worth £15m.
De La Rosa Makes Surprise Return
However in contrast to Jordan, Renault did make a surprise signing after announcing that they had secured the services of Spaniard Pedro De La Rosa for the 2006 season. De La Rosa, whose F1 career looked to be over following a difficult campaign with Minardi in 2004, was delighted to report that he had signed a one year deal with Renault in a deal worth around £5m.

Also, after having a quick look at my pms and the thread, I believe I am yet to receive testing plans from Ferrari and Williams. I'll be running the session Thursday evening so you will have until then to submit your plans.

He, like Rosberg, was on a three stop strategy which was in no uncertain terms the wrong choice

Haha that I did. I suddenly thought "Hang on, Vettel, Massa and Coulthard were on one stoppers not Alonso."

We feel sorry for Kimi that he lost again some safe points. He was on a one stop strategy, but due to some problems with the fueling system during his stop he had to come in again. Luckily the one who profited by this was André, so at least the point stayed in the team.
We're happy to announce that André has signed a new contract and will stay in the team for another two season. He has improved a lot since he joined us, and we're sure that he'll get even better.
