tata.com : Karthikeyan retains second place |
 | | Tata Carlin driver, Narain Karthikeyan, was just over half a second slower than pole sitter, Heikki Kovalainen, but faced the start lights for race one from the fourth row of the grid, probably frustrated that his first qualifying challenge was not matched by the brilliance of his second which elevated him to the front row. |
 | | Kovalainen, whose Gabord competition car has been the pace maker all weekend, pulled out a gap of 3 seconds on Karthikeyan, who was busy defending his position against Renault F1 driver Montagny, who was just half a second behind him. |
 | | Kovalainen had received a 25-second penalty for a start infringement and Montagny's driving - which robbed Karthikeyan of what could have been a race win, now that Kovalainen was out of contention - was under investigation from the stewards. |
