2005 Australian Grand Prix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1132 words)
The 2005 Australian Grand Prix was a Formula One race held at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit on March 6, 2005.
The 2005 Australian Grand Prix was run under partly cloudly skies with temperatures around 20 °C (68 °F).
Starting third in his home grand prix, Mark Webber — in his Williams debut — was outsprinted to the first corner by David Coulthard's Red Bull.
2005 Malaysian Grand Prix (2100 words)
While Schumacher and Barrichello were competing in the Malaysian Grand Prix, Luca Badoer and Marc Géne were developing the new F2005 at Fiorano and Mugello.
After two rounds in 2005 Flavio Briatore still is a realist: "We take it from race to race." Tradition gives him a great responsibilty, because Renault had been, with the Hungarian Ferenzc Szisz in the cockpit, the winner of the first ever Grand Prix in history taking place at Le Mans in 1906.
Juan Pablo Montoya brachten den zweiten McLaren Mercedes in einer soliden Fahrt auf Platz 4.
