This GP hasn't past. Its history started just at the beginning April this year's. New circuit was built mid desert and rock as oasis present in world past. It has excellent characteristics, sufficient number places to overtaking - only fines and dust, which wind apply on asphalt reacts some racers problems as wet track. No so for Schumacher and Barrichello. Both pilots Ferrari got on absolutely masterful as in qualification, so in race. Only Montoya tried them dog. But during race to him begun be off gears and finally arrived 13th with loss more than one's circuit. Continued tragedy of McLaren. Raikkonen in general didn't finish qualification and had to therefore start from last but one place, Coulthard ran over 10. time. Race passed away then anything misery of team: Kimi had to step back already in 8. circuit and Coulthard him followed 6 circuits before end. It meet team last before two years in Malajsia. Both Ferrari circled after circuit and after breakaway of Montoya already only escalated their allowance before "remainder of world". Finally they went off all about more than half minute. First-rate kept again Button. He arrived third and second was on steps of winners. Sato validated qualities of BAR on 5. position. Form validated also Renaults (4. Trulli, 6. Alonso). Honour of team Williams rescued R.Schumacher on 7. place. And Weber arrived finally yourself for the first mark.
Order in end: 1. M.Schumacher, 2. Barrichello (oba Ferrari), 3. Button (BAR), 4. Trulli (Renault), 5. Sato (BAR), 6. Alonso (Renault), 7. R.Schumacher (Williams), 8. Weber (Jaguar.)After 3 races: 30 M.Schumacher, 21 Barrichello, 15 Button, 12 Montoya, 11 Alonso a Trulli, 7 R.Schumacher, 4 Sato a Coulthard, 1 Massa a Weber.
