Kimi Räikkönen has acquired revenge of many worries happened this season, after winning of sensational forms the Great Prize of Japan edition 2005, in the last turn of the test with its McLaren Mercedes.
The Japanese race has become most exciting of the year, after Saturday the strong rain was made present during the qualifying session, causing that the majority of the pilots top initiated the competition of Sunday from the last positions.

Ralf heads the followed squad of Fisichella. Coulthard did a great starting surpassing to Klien and Sato. M. Schumacher also gained several positions

Thus it was as Ralf Schumacher obtained his first pole of the year, in the Earth of Toyota, followed of the Briton Jenson Button with its BAR Honda. But as it would be demonstrated more ahead in the test, Ralf left to classify with a very light fuel car would take that it to a strategy of three shutdowns in race.
With the squad so mixed, the first return of the Great Prize was a true chaos. Of moved Takuma Sato one confused in the first curve and it hit against the Ferrari de Barrichello, but not in the track, but when both cars went uncontrolled in the gravel of Suzuka. Both pilots managed to return to the track, but very delayed.
Ralf managed to conserve the leadership of the test, followed of Fisichella and Coulthard. Meanwhile the 2004 champion and champion of 2005 Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso gained several positions in the course of the first turn.

The security car entered after the violent accident of Montoya. At heart the McLaren Mercedes of the Colombian is distinguished, who also was candidate to win

But just when the spirits seemed to have calmed, a spectacular shock of Juan Pablo Montoya against the barriers of the last curve forced the directors of the test to neutralize the same with security car. The accident happened meters after chicane, when Montoya tried to escape by the external side to the Sauber de Villeneuve, naturally the Canadian did not diminish the march and both were close, with Montoya taking the worse part after a fort impact that destroyed all the lateral one of its McLaren.
“As far as the incident with Montoya in the first return, I saw never it, so I do not have nor idea of what she was trying to do when she left the track”, the champion of 1997 Jacques Villeneuve explained.
The security car remained by several turns, while the track aids reconstructed the barriers where Montoya had hit.

Schumi and Alonso battled in two occasions by position. Here Alonso goes of length in chicane. The Asturian one untied after to obtain the title in Brazil

To the resumption the competition became stabilized, with the Toyota of Ralf leading the squad whereas Fisichella, with a heavier car, towards the possible thing not to lose to him been above. Meanwhile the attention of the test concentrated in a sensational battle by the fifth position between Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Räikkönen. These two last, visibly quicker than the German of Ferrari, they did not have the things easy to exceed the German star. Michael, with a car net inferior, defended itself finally like cat between the hares to be exceeded by Alonso, in the curve 130R. Probably this has been the maneuver of the year, when the Spanish promised to be on the inside to Michael, soon to exceed it exigidamente by the external side.
However Kimi could not fold the multiple champion, not even in the simultaneous resupply that both completed. Nevertheless a pair of turns would exceed later it at the end of the main straight line.
The advancement of Alonso finally little would serve the Spanish to him, since to his it sent it equipment until the ninth position after his resupply, behind Schumacher and Räikkönen.

Sato tried a new “Harakiri” in its earth. This time the victim was the Italian Jarno Trulli. By this incident the Japanese was declassified after the competition

In as much the hopes of victory of Toyota they vanished quickly when Ralf executed its strategy of three shutdowns. Without doubts this has not been the best election of the test. Thus the Italian Giancar it Fisichella it happened to command the test firmly, becoming candidate to the victory.
“He has been hard to finish of this form a weekend that promised so much. I sallied great and was beginning to distance to me of the group when the security car I enter track, which was the very bad news for our strategy of three shutdowns in boxes. The permanence during so many returns of the car of security in track has ruined our options”, explained with right reason the minor of the Schumacher.
Meanwhile sigilosamente the Australian Mark Webber completed his better action of the year, maintaining to his Williams BMW between the three first of the test. Webber just would resign the last step of podio at the hands of Fernando Alonso in the final turns.

Kimi persecutes to Webber to that would exceed a pair of turns later. The companion of Webber, Pizzonia, retired by a confusion in the ninth turn of the test

“I am not totally contented with my position, because this it is not the result that we wanted. Most positive of the day it has been the work of the equipment during the two shutdowns, when we soon passed first a Coulthard and to Button, but in the last returns I could not maintain behind to Alonso. The car has improved much because the boys of the aerodynamic department continue working to the maximum and BMW is providing us a good motor, but today we could not compete in the straight lines”, said Webber.
Past half of race the battle between Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso returned to ignite, when the Asturian one recovered quickly of a strange sanction to return to surpass the German, this time in the main straight line.

Alonso consoles to its Fisichella companion after the defeat in track. Champion 2005 did not hide his annoyance by the punishment imposed by the directors of the test

“Although he can sound something strange, enough I am disappointed with the third position: the car has been fantastic today, and fodder that since the beginning of season we have for the first time been at the level of McLaren. So after to have left in front of them and to have had the opportunity to beat them, it is not possible to be said that the things have left to us absolutely well today. The incident with Klien has been strange, since when was seven seconds in front of him, have communicated me who had to yield the position again to him, which has surprised to me enough”, flaming champion 2005 commented.
But the definition of the test began to be developed when Kimi Räikkönen in the last became candidate realizing its final re-fuelling. The Finn remained in track everything what could, adding valuable seconds of difference with respect to the second Fisichella.

Rum exultante Dennis congratulates to its pilot star. The Finn will follow in escudería in 2006, but he would leave to Ferrari in 2007 to replace Michael Schumacher

Kimi made its last re-fuelling to eight turns of the end, and returned to track second a more than seven seconds of Fisichella. Thence the man of McLaren was implacable, discounting to him more of a second by return. To four turns of Kimi end already he was to the tail of the R25 of the Italian.
But the luck of Physique already was thrown, the Italian resisted to where it could but it exceeded it to Kimi in the main straight line of the last turn. Although Fisichella tried to change the trajectory to him to Kimi, the greater speed of the McLaren car did not leave options to any possible defense.
“I thought which was the best form to pass it, because the part of inside was easier to take”, said Räikkönen, pilot of McLaren. “But Fisichella was there, so I did not have another option. I was towards outside trying to surround it, and I obtained luckyly it”.
Both pilots reached speeds superiors to the 300 kilometers per hour. “Losing the end was not pleasant, but Kimi flew”, said Fisichella, that in a while had an advantage of 19 seconds of the race. “I saw attack in the middle of the straight line and turn towards the left. There I saw the possibility of losing the first site”.
This way Kimi Räikkönen, after releasing in position 17, obtained his seventh victory of the year, more than recently crowned champion 2005 Fernando Alonso.

Jenson Button culminated fifth and returned to add points for escudería BAR. Nevertheless the fans of Honda waited for like minimum podio

Webber, Button, Coulthard, Michael Schumacher and Ralf Schumacher completed the remaining puntuables positions.
Nevertheless he was escudería Renault that took more points for the championship of marks, accumulating a total of fourteen, against the ten obtained solely by Räikkönen.
In as much Michael Schumacher it supplanted to Juan Pablo Montoya of the third step of the table of pilots. The German surpasses now it by only two points.
“I believe that the one of today she has been one of my better races, since I have had much work and I have enjoyed very many to the steering wheel. Considering all the problems with which we have been, to gain a victory he is something fantastic here. In the first return there has been of everything and as much Juan Pablo as I have been affected, which often is inevitable when salts from so back. I have forced to the maximum at any moment and the car every time went better”, emphasized Räikkönen.
The circus of Formula 1 goes now directly to China for the last race of the season, that will take place the next weekend.
