Qualifying
Race Day
 |
| Pit ready for car to come in |
On lap 32, the safety car was sent out to assess the situation when the rain came, but it quickly became obvious that conditions were impossible, and the race was red-flagged.
Even when the rain began to ease the huge areas of standing water on the circuit and low light made re-starting the race impossible.
Rain halted race!!

| Pit crew attending to their cars in the pouring rain. |
 |
| Pit crew running to their race cars stopped on track due to the red flag. |
 |
| Pit lane absolutely drenched! |
The
race was won by Jenson Button, followed by Nick Heidfeld and Timo Clock based on
the finishing order on lap 31 – the lap before the red flag came out.
As the
race did not reach the required 75% distance (i.e. 42 laps) needed for full
points to be awarded, half-points were given instead.
