Narain Karthikeyan will start Melbourne F1 race at
12th position
Very good, and thanks to the rain too. Ralf and Michael
Schumacher and Takuma Sato start behind him, Rubens
Barrichello in front of the Indian driver.
6 March 2005: The final race grid positions are
clear now.
Narain will have F1 biggies Michael Schumacher, Takuma
Sato, Ralf Schumacher and Felippe Massa - all experienced
drivers behind him when the race starts. Right ahead of him
will be last year's no.2, Rubens Barrichello in a red Ferrari
F2004M.
What can happen? Everyone behind Narain will tray to
overtake each other and him at the start or at the first
corner. They will be aware that Narain karthikeyan in the
Jordan is a rookie driver, and will be a bit careful too - so
his inexperience may not get them into trouble.
Narain's own teammate Tiago Monteiro also will be behind
him, and even he may try to overtake Narain at the start.
