Tuzla, Turkey

The 2005 Turkish Grand Prix (officially the 2005 Formula 1 Turkish Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on 21 August 2005 at Istanbul Park, Tuzla, Turkey. It was the fourteenth race of the 2005 FIA Formula One World Championship and the inaugural Turkish Grand Prix.

The 58-lap race was won by Finnish driver Kimi Räikkönen, driving a McLaren-Mercedes. Räikkönen took his fifth victory of the season after starting from pole position and leading every lap.

With five races remaining, Alonso led the Drivers' Championship by 24 points from Räikkönen, while Renault's lead over McLaren in the Constructors' Championship was nine points.

Report

Background

After the Hungarian Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso led the drivers' championship with 26 points ahead of Kimi Räikkönen and 32 points ahead of Michael Schumacher. In the constructors' championship, Renault led McLaren-Mercedes by twelve points and Ferrari by 31 points.

Qualifying

In qualifying, Räikkönen set the fastest time and secured his eighth pole position. Fisichella came second in the Renault ahead of his teammate Alonso.

Race

Start of the race

Michael Schumacher and Mark Webber collided on lap 14. The rear suspension of Schumacher's Ferrari was damaged, but after repairs he rejoined the race. Webber's Williams lost the nose cone.

Felipe Massa lost the front wing and bargeboard from his Sauber in a first-corner collision with the Williams of former teammate Nick Heidfeld. After replacements were fitted, Massa continued racing until his engine failed on lap 29. Both Williams cars retired from the race due to right-rear tyre failures - Webber on lap 21 and Heidfeld on lap 30.

Juan Pablo Montoya was running second on the penultimate lap when he clashed with the Jordan of Tiago Monteiro, damaging his diffuser. On the next lap Montoya ran straight ahead at Turn 8, allowing Fernando Alonso to pass him. Montoya's fastest lap was over two seconds faster than his teammate's qualifying time.

  • – Robert Doornbos failed to set a time after his Minardi's brakes caught fire due to an incorrect brake pipe fitting.
  • – Takuma Sato, Narain Karthikeyan and Michael Schumacher received a ten-place start penalty due to an engine change.
  • – Jacques Villeneuve spun in turn 8, so he could not complete his fast lap.
  • – Michael Schumacher spun in turn 9, so he could not complete his fast lap.
