Kimi Räikkönen has managed to discount only two points to the leader of the world-wide Fernando Alonso, after gaining by second consecutive year the Great Prize of Belgium, developed under a humid and very slippery track, that caused several confusions and headaches for many of the competitors.
Räikkönen has added in the circuit of Spa-Francorchamps the eighth triumph of its sport race and sixth of the present season, and so it equals with the Spanish in number of victories in 2005.

Kimi celebrated again, but Alonso is the one who smiles more abiertamente. The great Spanish has chances to devote champion in Brazil. But Kimi not yet surrenders

“We did everything what we could today, and I am very contented of to have won here in for the second time consecutive Spa. Nevertheless, the retirement of Juan Pablo was a true pain I feel and it by him and the equipment, since we could more have left Spa by far than a deserved good 1-2. When the Safety Car left we took the opportunity to enter boxes and as Ralf were lighter then it could be placed in front of me. Nevertheless, I could not press later with the Michelin tires. Soon when it was dried the track I could press hard and establish a series of fast returns. After the second shutdown I took control of the end, since I could stay more in track than Juan Pablo. But I have mixed emotions, since we must have finished with the 1-2 today”, ended up saying Kimi.
But to this height of the circumstances, the Alonso Spanish only needs to collect six units in anyone of the three races that remain, to devote itself like the youngest champion of F1. On the other hand Kimi would have to yes gain yes or the three remaining races, (Brazil, Japan and China), and to wait for an unfortunate rollover of abandonments on the part of its Spanish rival.

Montoya leads the squad followed of his coequiper Räikkönen. The abandonment of the Colombian was a hard blow for McLaren in the championship of constructors

The edition 2005 of the GP Belgian began with humid track and finished in the same way. Although intense rain in the perimeter of the drawn up one was not registered, the great majority of the equipment decided on intermediate tires, and those that risked by the smooth notchings, failed in their attempt.
Juan Pablo Montoya did not have disadvantages to dominate his Räikkönen companion, who yes was in jams by the Toyota of Jarno Trulli, that nearly he snatches the position to him. The great majority of the pilots journeyed with extreme prevents the first turn, except Sato that gained four positions in a dangerous maneuver.
Some few pilots inclined by tires for dry floor, among them both pilots of Minardi, who quickly returned to boxes to place the intervals.
The six times winning of Spa and present champion, Michael Schumacher, he did not manage to remove much benefit to the conditions of the track, although with a car filled with fuel one stayed expectant just behind Fernando Alonso, who also lead with well-taken care of excess all the test.

Hard blow of Physique in l'Eau Rouge. The Roman already was in the points but he forced of more he paid and it expensive. Not yet its continuity in the equipment for the 2006 was confirmed

Giancar it Fisichella, that backed down ten positions in departure grilla to change its motor, it initiated a sensational one overcome in the first turns, took that it until the eighth position in the ninth turn. But the Italian in his eagerness to continue advancing, lost his machine in the feared curve l'Eau Rouge hitting against the defenses. The Roman left unharmed the accident, but the rest of their Renault were scattered by all sides, forcing to the Safety Car to enter by first and unique time in the competition.
With the entrance of the Safety Car almost all the pilots entered to boxes, generating a chaos and a total confusion. Many pilots had to kill the time so that their companions completed the re-fuelling, most evident in doing it was Räikkönen, that restrained to all the lot of pilots to find his box cleared after the resupply of Montoya.
Before the entrance to boxes, the eight first positions were in the hands of Montoya, Räikkönen, Trulli, Alonso, M. Schumacher, Sato, R. Schumacher and Fisichella.

Sato by the doubts maintains a prudential distance with the champion Michael Schumacher. The Japanese restrained behind schedule and nothing could make to avoid the collision. A pain for both

After the resupply, Montoya conserved the leadership, followed of Jacques Villeneuve, who it was not resupplied, R. Schumacher, Räikkönen, Alonso, Trulli, Massa and Barrichello. In this moved the Schumacher champion it descended until the twelfth position, but it would lose everything a pair of turns later, when Sato wore when relaunching itself the race to it. The German still did not hide to his annoyance, asking to him explanations to Sato in the cabin of his BAR.
“All accident is unnecessary, but this one seemed more unnecessary than the habitual thing. Obvious I am not happy for this reason, I did not see anybody and I suddenly felt the blow in the part of back of the car. He was stupid to finish the race of that way when we hoped that the changing conditions helped us to improve”, explayó the champion of the world.
Once relaunched the race the rate imposed by the Toyota of Ralf was remarkable, that got to put itself to the escapes of the McLaren of the Colombian. Exactly when the German still dreamed about the first triumph his and of the equipment, his engineer ordered to him to enter to boxes to exchange again by tires for dry floor. The decision was a fiasco. Ralf as soon as it could control the car in track, losing several positions in few turns.
Besides Ralf before his resupply, it was Villeneuve that bright with its Sauber leading themselves to Fernando Alonso and leading of a vehement way and to the edge to confuse, that is to say, the Villeneuve style. For the Canadian this it bore his fruits, since in the end sixth position very over his so acclaimed finished in a brilliant to coequiper Felipe Massa.

The Canadian Villeneuve released 13º and culminated 6º after an injured race. The pilot of Sauber was saved by very little of crashing in l'Eau Rouge

“This result has caused that was worth the pain to classify with much propellent charge! The decision to have left we in track when the Safety Car left was exactly what there was to do. As it advanced the race the things improved, since the fuel fell, but passed of everything the way throughout to me. A return I entered totally of side l'Eau Rouge and thought that everything was finished. But I could save it; and later I had a touch with Karthikeyan in Them Open space, so for me it has not been a boring race! ”, commented the champion of the 1997 world.
With Ralf already eliminated of the dispute of the race, the Räikkönen Finn went shortening land to his Montoya companion, until being less than placed to a second of difference past half of race. The Colombian was first in realizing the last resupply, Kimi made a pair of turns later to return to the track first, as escudería had stipulated his to it.
On the other hand Alonso towards a solitary race, and finally would be made of the second put with a gift supported by Antonio Pizzonia.

Another abandonment more of Montoya. The native of Bogota had the second assured place, but it was not understood with Antonio Pizzonia. Thanks to this, Alonso inherited the second position

To only three returns of the end, Pizzonia with tires for dry floor, removed from race to Montoya when trying to exceed it in an unfortunate maneuver. Lamentably the incident was not caught totally by the television Belgian, although according to Pizzonia it was Montoya that took a slow rate excessively.
“ With respect to the incident with Montoya, was with tires for dry, and being faster than he. Perhaps it was very slow, because their tires were not very or or perhaps it was regulating until the end of the race. I believe that it saw me and when he restrained so early I thought that he was letting to me pass. I put my car near the one of him, but it had obvious not seen me, since he doubled by the normal trajectory and I could not avoid to hit it. The moan by him, because I am not here for destroying to the race of anybody ”, explained the Brazilian.
Montoya however, did not think the same. “ My deception is enormous because the equipment was doing a great work. Now I know that Pizzonia was with tires for dry and trying to recover the return that I took to him, and soon she hit to me from back she tried while it. It is dissapointing because it could have been a perfect weekend. “

Alonso caresses the title but its behavior already is worthy of a mature champion. One stayed remote of the problems, and it did not enter rubbing with anybody

This incident served in tray the put second to him to Fernando Alonso, who instead of six points, added eight and saw like Jenson Button, in spite of his efforts in the two last returns, he did not pursue to him and he had to be satisfied to the third position.
“A third position already was a magnificent result. The second is far better”, affirmed Alonso. “There was no necessity to take unnecessary risks to this height from the championship”, said Alonso.
The action of the Briton Jenson Button was very outstanding. After battling with his coequiper Sato, and later advancing to other rivals returned to return, the English obtained his second podio of the season whereas BAR Honda consolidates in front of Red Bull in the championship of constructors.

Button him porfía the position to Sato. The BAR circulated dangerously close around a pair of turns. In the end Button added points, and the Japanese was mistaken again…

“ Is fantastic to return to podio, and I must give thanks to the equipment by its incredible work to give back to this level. In the first shutdown we fit the front aileron, which improved the things, but were too optimistic when changing to wheels for dry and had to return to those from dunked. However, this double change of wheels has supposed a radical change. I must be thankful to all the equipment and to Michelin to make possible east result ”, commented Jenson, that still maintains a precontract with escudería Williams.
Another shining action him quota to the Australian Mark Webber, that after to have tried with smooth tires, returned to the intervals, to place smooth in the last turns again, and thus with a dangerous and accurate handling, lead to its Williams to the fourth final position.

The Williams was not quick in classification, but very effective in race, especially Webber. In the 2006 equipment he will use Cosworth motors and Bridgestone tires

“It was a difficult race, very affected by several changes of tires. Pain was one that we wasted as much time when the Safety Car left in the beginning of the race and would change to tires for dry and to intervals soon again. Obvious we ran the risk, since they did all today. We could even have obtained a better result, but also it was very easy to finish against a wall ” today, thought the Australian of Williams, equipment that the next year confirmed the use of Bridgestone tires.
Less extraordinary it was not the handling of the Portuguese Tiago Monteiro, who on board the new evolution of Jordan EJ15, arrived eighth adding the first real point ‘ ’ of escudería with Russian capitals. Monteiro did not become jumbled in incidents, and in a track where the pilotage of the conductive ones acquires major dimension, Tiago demonstrated because another season in F1 is deserved more.

Tiago Monteiro to total march in l'Eau Rouge. The Portuguese raised itself with the last point of the race and very surpassed to several rivals with average mechanics superiors

“I have really enjoyed it much today in my favorite circuit, especially under those climatic conditions, since we knew that it agreed to us and that we could improve our positions. The Bridgestone tires worked very well and I felt very trusting. I am enchanted by all the equipment and by same me, this it is a true point who definitively we deserved. ”
Kimi Räikkönen completed the 44 returns in the circuit of 6.9 kilometers in 1 hour, 30 minutes and 1,295 seconds, surpassing to Alonso by 28,394 seconds. Button entered third party 32,077 seconds.
After this result, Alonso, that arrived at Belgium with mathematical options to gain the title, continues leading the championship, now with 111 points, 25 more than Räikkönen.
Renault follows the front between the constructors with 152 points, whereas McLaren counts on 146.
The next appointment of the world-wide one will be the Great Prize of Brazil, that will dispute the 25 of September in the circuit of Interlagos.
