Chequered Flag

As the 5 red lights went off, the long-awaited 2005 F1 season got under way! new teams, new rules, new machines...and as if to add to it, Schumi the great was at 19th position on the starting grid, a rare sight indeed...but it felt nice, for some reason! not to forget, our own Kartikeyan, ready for his first ever GP...stage was set for an exciting journey of 57 laps...and it did turn out to be a pretty good race...not really very eventful...but overall a grt start to the season...mixed luck for Ferrari...with F2005 still in the garage, they clearly lacked the firepower...Barrichello still managing to make it to the podium! Schumi had a bad day at work...Heidfeld made way for his premature exit from the race...anyway, kudos to Fisichella for doing the most of an hard earned opportunity...he did everything right to win the battle...well, the war is far from over...lets wait and watch, what's in store at the Malaysian GP.
