* A very nice battle at the very top, with the top four of the race all scoring well.
* Narain Karthikeyan scores a point in his first ever race!

* David Coulthard has now scored more podiums in 2005 than in 2004.
* Giancarlo Fisichella is right now the only driver to have scored Voting podiums in every season (since 1999). The Schumacher brothers may still join him.
