Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix - 2005 Date: March 20th 2005 Weather: Fine Circuit: Sepang International Circuit Malaysia Distance: 310.408 Km (56 laps x 5.543 Km) This was another dominant win from Renault, as their number 1 driver Fernando Alonso secured his first win of the season from pole position. At the start he led from Jarno Trulli, before finishing the race 20-odd seconds ahead of the Italian, claiming Toyota's first ever podium position. Third place was taken by Nick Heidfeld in the Williams. He had been trailing Alonso's team-mate Giancarlo Fisichella, and his own teammate Mark Webber who collided at the end of lap 35. Having been passed by the Australian, Fisichella attempted to retake the position on the inside heading into the final corner, but lost control and slid into Webber's car. Fourth was McLaren's Juan Pablo Montoya, after from 11th on the grid. He was followed home by Ralf Schumacher, David Coulthard, Michael Schumacher and Christian Klien. This made it 4 points finishes from 4 starts for Red Bull Racing. Kimi Räikkönen suffered a puncture immediately after his pitstop, and despite setting the fastest lap was unable to make up enough positions to score any points. After retiring from the Australian Grand Prix a lap from the end, which caused the rules to be changed, Button and Davidson (Driving in place of Sato, who had a bout of the flu) retired on the second lap of the race, both from engine failures. Alonso's win made him the first Spaniard ever to lead the Formula 1 World Championship.
