That thumbnail shot is my shot from that weekend! Yes it was ridiculously hot shooting it, not just hot, but like 70% humidity also...strange for the desert...more like Sepang actually!!

[@stewartgrindlay9760]

Big Zeddie provides again at the right time. Fernando was so so smart at T1 at start. Basically stopped to prevent Micheal going forward and give Trulli a chance at P2

[@gorangoran6335]

Beautiful sound from Renault engine. And Fernando is still there, almost 20years later. A legend. 💪

[@michaelryan2463]

Thanks for uploading these f1 videos mate I'm a huge f1 fan

[@Stronty-dog75]

Im sure this was the hottest ever race, which was why they moved it to night time, sad that its a truly awful and boring race to watch now. I remember still being excited to see every single race 19 years ago. How has modern F1 lost the excitement and racing, and turned into a sad parody of itself?

[@yudhabagaskara98]

Hottest grand prix uploaded in a very hot Sunday. Perfect

[@meneldur19]

I don't know if it's his not so polished English in this era, but Alonso always seemed so humourless when speaking on TV - i know he's young but it's like a different person, big difference from the meme-lord we have now haha.

[@diakurosawa5156]

Too many cars going out of track throughout the season due to that Stupid 2005 pit stop rule.

[@manmonkee]

If I remember right this is the season BAR bring an update about halfway through the season and Jenson starts getting huge amount of points.

[@sugaloaf567]

Wasn’t this the hottest GP ever? Weird it didn’t make the highlights or the driver interviews. Maybe people just complained less 19 years ago.

[@guitarman813]

This was indeed the hottest race on record. Almost 43°c in terms of air temperature. Looking back now, I'm amazed that this race even went ahead!

Here comes the F2005 to put Ferrari on the right track..........oh.

[@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1]

And the Michael has his first mechanical failure in a race since 2001, brutal stuff

[@C_and_C...]

@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 she'll be more competitive at Imola. Just not championship material unfortunately.

[@harmkuijpers6642]

That's 100% down to the Bridgestone tyres. When they were allowed to change the tyres afdingen in 2006, Schumacher was back fighting for the title.

[@C_and_C...]

@@harmkuijpers6642 100% A rule designed to hurt Bridgestone runners more than anyone else. It's just nobody noticed Jordan or Minardi. I firmly believe that Michelin were given the heads up about this rule early in 2004 & they developed a tyre during that season specifically for it. Also explains Michelin runners lack of competitiveness during 04.

[@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1]

@@harmkuijpers6642 yes and no Ferrari Gearbox also caused the rear diffuser to be too small as well IIRC and needed a redesign for 2006

[@sdstewart87]

Happy Easter BZ! Thanks again for all these uploads!

[@VenusDoom891]

Unbelievable just how many offs there were here (the no tyre change rule obviously being a big factor in that). Having great big Tesco car parks as run-off areas was a new fangled thing at the time but if not for them there'd have been about 5 cars finish :-)

[@eugenelazarev9795]

Debut of a new Ferrari car wasn't perfect. F2005 was looking good in Michael Schumacher's hands in qualification and the first part of the race but then he had to retire, Barrichello struggled with a new car all weekend long. In 2005 Ferrari wasn't fighting for the title for the first time since 1996 but even then in 2005 Michael was doing everything he could to score as more points as possible. Second terrible weekend for B.A.R. in a row, they lost both cars again. Alike them magic Alonso was looking perfect and took a second win in a row, he was on the way to the first title. That was a good sofa Sunday, happy Easter Zeddie!

[@DavidBirchphoto1.]

Thank you for uploading this, happy Easter.

[@Alex_Booth]

Remember watching this cheering on Pedro de la Rosa!

[@icyveins21]

De la Rosa was flying!

[@schmitz909]

bro flying so fast the camera lens got shattered

[@tristanwhite3472]

Alonso winner of the Bahrain gp 2005 & 2006.

[@tristanwhite3472]

I liked De La Rosa silly of him to brake way to late to overtake he did it twice.

[@tristanwhite3472]

I like the Bahrain gp one of my favourites.

[@tristanwhite3472]

Great drive by Yarno Trulli. I liked him nice guy.

[@AI.0116]

Qualifying pace still not there yet for McLaren here. Kind to it tyres and preferred start with heavier fuel

[@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1]

An issue they would have in 2006 when the suspension was too good on tires that it couldn’t fire them up properly for one lap or sometimes over a stint

[@DustoMan]

Man, they got rock solid reliability now.crazy to see so much attrition.

[@joshpemberton8128]

I miss the days if high attrition

Jim: "it ain't half hot, mum." James: "Absolutely. It certainly isn't, Jim."

Thanks Big Z ❤😊. This will help nurse my hangover lol

[@blackspeedbikekilla]

happy easter bz and thank you for uploading this one. this was the hottest race in terms of the air temperature, that winner fernando alonso has ever experienced, he said after the grand prix. 41° in early april and thank godness the gp didn't took place in august.

[@alexlazebat839]

now has Wurz more racing experience than de la rosa?

[@alexlazebat839]

Jim was right, Alonso did win with 2 races to go

[@richarddennis2603]

What a shame. Looks like it could have possibly been a tussle for the ages between Alonso and Schumacher, which is exactly what we all wanted to see. Good job De La Rosa and his antics were there for the race, because not a lot else happened, apart from drivers managing their cars.... 🤷

[@tombardsley3081]

Not sure if Schumacher would have been able to fight the entire grand prix. The Bridgestone tyres weren't lasting races especially in hot conditions

[@VenusDoom891]

2 Toyotas in the top 4, who's have thunk it? (Well I know they were nearly that good the race before but 2/3 of crap all before that!).

[@C_and_C...]

Anyone know why the Ferrari's had a black nose cone for this race? Someone must have died.

Big Zeddie delivering again! Loved the 2005 season. Amazing to think De La Rosa’s lap record still stands and I hope it stays that way!

[@TheMrlister72]

Big Zeddie .... Legendary Legend 👊🙏

[@f1faith015]

A great era for the sport but lets be honest. The racing isnt that good. People complain about the races now (which are boring) but seeing these highlights doesnt prove that racing was any better back then. Midfield battles with alonso running on his own. However, the sound and the cars make it a much more exciting watch. Reliability was the only factor affecting races it seems. Overtaking almost impossible. Bahrain GPs of the last 6 years have been way more exciting. Point is, racing has always had its ups and downs. Lets stop trying so hard to get the cars closer and just enjoy F1 as it is.

[@masters.1000]

There are even more boring now and with fake overtaking with DRS.

[@ciaronsmith4995]

The racing in 2000, 2003, some races of 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 was far better than what it is now. There was actual strategic unpredictability back then/

[@f1faith015]

@ciaronsmith4995 So no actual racing then. Strategy games exactly as we have now
