PETRONAS' MALAYSIAN GRAND PRIX 2005

Another opportunity to attend the 2005 Petronas' Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix. This time, we had Jade Grandstand seats, situated directly opposite the BMW.WilliamsF1 Team pit garage. It was sad to see my favourite driver finish in 7th position and even sadder to see Mark Webber retire after his collision with Giancarlo Fisichella. Hopefully, there are better fortunes for both of them at the Bahrain Grand Prix. It was not surprising to see a Renault win again but it was certainly surprising to see the 2 Toyotas finish strongly.
