The 2005 Italian Grand Prix Review
Juan Pablo Montoya took a dominant win in the Italian Grand Prix, but the weekend was all about Michael Schumacher handing his crown for the first time in the Millenium, almost certainly to Fernando Alonso after rival Kimi Raikkonen was again hit by problems. Will Gray reviews the events and results from the fifthteenth race of the 2005 season
What a difference a year makes.
Ferrari's loyal tifosi cheered on an unchallenged one-two for the scarlet Scuderia in Monza last year, but there was no polished powerful performance from the men from Maranello this time around; just promises for the future from defeated Champions.
Of all places, Italy, in front of their home fans, was not the place Ferrari wanted to finally be forced to acknowledge their era was over. Another composed performance from Fernando Alonso, however, ensured that was exactly the sad situation they were put in.
