Zandvoort 2005: Paffett back in front after win.

Sunday, 28th August 2005

Britain's Gary Paffett took the win at Circuit Park Zandvoort Sunday.

Pole sitter, Bernd Schneider had to settle for eighth, and the final championship point, after he was given a drive-through penalty for touching Rinaldo Capello's Audi, when he missed a braking point.

Bruno Spengler and Christian Abt rounded out the top ten, while Pierre Kaffer finished eleventh and Mika Hakkinen was 12th, after colliding with Manuel Reuter.

Of the rest, five drivers failed to make it to the finish, most noticeably former F1 ace, Jean Alesi, who was the first to retire, when he had a puncture on lap 3. Allan McNish also retired six laps from the finish, but was still classified 15th.
