The second GP has come! I will post the practice results here, to see the performances and also to help you i the Formula One game.
From the official F1 website:2005 FORMULA 1™ Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix Sepang International Circuit Jalan Pekeliling 64000KLIA Selangor Malaysia Tel: (+603) 85262000 Fax: (+603) 85261020 Web: www.malaysiangp.com.my In the mid 1990s, Malaysia was undergoing a huge change. Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia's Prime Minister was determined that by 2020, the country would be a fully industrialised nation. The best way to do this, it was thought, was through the auto trade. The nation's number one oil company, Petronas, began investing heavily in Formula One with Sauber, and Malaysia's national car company, Proton, bought Lotus Engineering. The most extravagant part of the plan however was the building of a multimedia 'supercorridor', linking Kuala Lumpur's new international airport with the capital city itself. Mahathir ordered that a Grand Prix track be constructed too, and not just any track. He wanted to create a track that would be the envy of the world in terms of its facilities and technology. What he got was the Sepang International Circuit, and it did not disappoint. Designed by Hermann Tilke, Sepang is one of the most technical circuits in Formula One. The combination of long high-speed straights, and tight twisting complexes make the track very complicated, but also perfect for overtaking as the track itself is very wide. The drivers love it and, along with Malaysia's distinct atmosphere, it makes for an experience unique in Formula One. The circuit is 3.5km away from the New Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The North-South Central Link Expressway will get you from KL itself to the circuit in about an hour. Turn off at the Elite expressway for circuit access. From the airport, the circuit is only a 10 minute drive away. If you don't have a hire car, regular shuttle services are laid on from the airport to the circuit. Numerous rail services run out of KL, Seremban and Nilai to the Sepang circuit and will take between 20 and 40 minutes. |

Sato out of Malaysian Grand Prix
British driver gets unexpected race opportunity
BAR’s third driver Anthony Davidson will race at Sepang this weekend after Takuma Sato withdrew due to illness.
Sato developed a fever on Friday evening, and after receiving attention from the Sepang Circuit Medical Centre appeared to show some signs of recovery. However, this morning the fever had started to recur.
In view of the fact that this is such a physically demanding race for the driver, the team and Sato accepted the Medical Team's view that the most sensible course of action is to retire from the rest of the weekend's running.
"In the circumstances, given the heat and the conditions we can expect in the race, the sensible course was to let Taku stand down and to bring Anthony in to race," a team spokesman said.
Davidson, 25, will replace Sato in car number four with effect from this morning's free practice sessions and will take part in tomorrow's race. Under the 2005 regulations he must run with the same engine Sato used yesterday.
It will be Davidson's third grand prix start. He raced twice for Minardi in 2002, in Hungary and Belgium.
This is a last minute new!!

Coulthard, MSchumacher, Klien and Räikkönen ended few seconds difference...
If the race had few more laps, five or ten laps for example, the final order would be:
Coulthard
Räikkönen
Klien
Schumacher
Red Bulls are fantastic this year.
