It was the sixteenth race of the 2005 FIA Formula One World Championship and the 62nd Belgian Grand Prix. The 44-lap race was won by Finnish driver Kimi Räikkönen, driving a McLaren-Mercedes, after he started from second position. Räikkönen's Colombian teammate, Juan Pablo Montoya, took pole position and led until his second pit stop on lap 33; he then maintained second place until a late collision with Brazilian driver Antônio Pizzonia in the Williams-BMW. Spaniard Fernando Alonso thus took second in his Renault, with Englishman Jenson Button third in a BAR-Honda. With three races remaining, Alonso led the Drivers' Championship by 25 points from Räikkönen, needing only six more to clinch the title. In the Constructors' Championship, McLaren reduced Renault's lead to six points. It was also the last race at Spa-Francorchamps with this layout with changes to the Bus Stop chicane and pitlane completed for the 2007 race. Friday drivers The bottom 6 teams in the 2004 Constructors' Championship were entitled to run a third car in free practice on Friday.

Antônio Pizzonia crashed into Juan Pablo Montoya—in second position at the time—shortly before the finish of the race. Jacques Villeneuve was able to finish sixth by virtue of a one-stop pit strategy, while other drivers stopped as many as five times. This race saw the Jordan team score their final point, courtesy of Tiago Monteiro, while the BAR team achieved their last podium finish through Jenson Button. Also, Ralf Schumacher scored his last, and Toyota's first, fastest lap. Post-race The race stewards ruled that Sato had caused the collision with Schumacher, and he would consequently drop ten places on the grid for the next Grand Prix in Brazil. They also fined Pizzonia $8,000 for his collision with Montoya.11 September 2005 Sato docked ten places in Brazil for accident https://www.crash.net/f1/news/53700/1/sato-pizzonia-penalised-for-accidents 20 August 2020 crash.net en Unusually, McLaren did not send a representative to the podium to collect the constructors' trophy, so, Räikkönen accepted it on behalf of the team.Belgian Grand Prix 2005 - Podium (MTV3) (Räikkönen collects the constructors' trophy at the 2:03 mark) Classification Qualifying Pos No Driver Constructor Lap Gap Grid 1 10 Colombia Juan Pablo Montoya McLaren-Mercedes 1:46.391 1 2 9 Finland Kimi Räikkönen McLaren-Mercedes 1:46.440 +0.049 2 3 6 Italy Giancarlo Fisichella Renault 1:46.497 +0.106 131 1 4 16 Italy Jarno Trulli Toyota 1:46.596 +0.205 3 5 5 Spain Fernando Alonso Renault 1:46.760 +0.369 4 6 17 Germany Ralf Schumacher Toyota 1:47.401 +1.010 5 7 1 Germany Michael Schumacher Ferrari 1:47.476 +1.085 6 8 12 Brazil Felipe Massa Sauber-Petronas 1:47.867 +1.476 7 9 3 United Kingdom Jenson Button BAR-Honda 1:47.978 +1.587 8 10 7 Australia Mark Webber Williams-BMW 1:48.071 +1.680 9 11 4 Japan Takuma Sato BAR-Honda 1:48.353 +1.962 10 12 14 United Kingdom David Coulthard Red Bull-Cosworth 1:48.508 +2.117 11 13 2 Brazil Rubens Barrichello Ferrari 1:48.550 +2.159 12 14 11 Canada Jacques Villeneuve Sauber-Petronas 1:48.889 +2.498 14 15 8 Brazil Antônio Pizzonia Williams-BMW 1:48.898 +2.507 15 16 15 Austria Christian Klien Red Bull-Cosworth 1:48.994 +2.603 16 17 20 Monaco Robert Doornbos Minardi-Cosworth 1:49.779 +3.388 17 18 21 Netherlands Christijan Albers Minardi-Cosworth 1:49.842 +3.451 18 19 18 Portugal Tiago Monteiro Jordan-Toyota 1:51.498 +5.107 19 20 19 India Narain Karthikeyan Jordan-Toyota 1:51.675 +5.284 20Source:2005 FORMULA 1 Belgian Grand Prix - Qualifying http://www.formula1.com/results/season/2005/747/6232/ Formula1.com Formula1.com Limited 27 December 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20131126053644/http://www.formula1.com/results/season/2005/747/6232/ 26 November 2013 Notes 1 1 – Giancarlo Fisichella started the race from 13th place – the result of a ten-place grid penalty given for an engine change between final practice and qualifying on the Saturday.Gray Will The 2005 Belgian Grand Prix Review https://www.autosport.com/motorsport/feature/269/the-2005-belgian-grand-prix-review 14 September 2005 20 August 2020 Autosport.com en Race Pos No Driver Constructor Tyre Laps Time/Retired Grid Points 1 9 Finland Kimi Räikkönen McLaren-Mercedes Michelin 44 1:30:01.295 2 10 2 5 Spain Fernando Alonso Renault Michelin 44 + 28.394 4 8 3 3 United Kingdom Jenson Button BAR-Honda Michelin 44 + 32.077 8 6 4 7 Australia Mark Webber Williams-BMW Michelin 44 + 1:09.167 9 5 5 2 Brazil Rubens Barrichello Ferrari Bridgestone 44 + 1:18.136 12 4 6 11 Canada Jacques Villeneuve Sauber-Petronas Michelin 44 + 1:27.435 14 3 7 17 Germany Ralf Schumacher Toyota Michelin 44 + 1:27.574 5 2 8 18 Portugal Tiago Monteiro Jordan-Toyota Bridgestone 43 + 1 Lap 19 1 9 15 Austria Christian Klien Red Bull-Cosworth Michelin 43 + 1 Lap 16 10 12 Brazil Felipe Massa Sauber-Petronas Michelin 43 + 1 Lap 7 11 19 India Narain Karthikeyan Jordan-Toyota Bridgestone 43 + 1 Lap 20 12 21 Netherlands Christijan Albers Minardi-Cosworth Bridgestone 42 + 2 Laps PL2 1 13 20 Monaco Robert Doornbos Minardi-Cosworth Bridgestone 41 + 3 Laps PL2 1 14 10 Colombia Juan Pablo Montoya McLaren-Mercedes Michelin 40 Collision 1 15 8 Brazil Antônio Pizzonia Williams-BMW Michelin 39 Collision 15 Ret Retired 16 Italy Jarno Trulli Toyota Michelin 34 Accident 3 Ret Retired 14 United Kingdom David Coulthard Red Bull-Cosworth Michelin 18 Engine 11 Ret Retired 1 Germany Michael Schumacher Ferrari Bridgestone 13 Collision 6 Ret Retired 4 Japan Takuma Sato BAR-Honda Michelin 13 Collision 10 Ret Retired 6 Italy Giancarlo Fisichella Renault Michelin 10 Accident 13Sources:2005 FORMULA 1 Belgian Grand Prix - Race http://www.formula1.com/results/season/2005/747/ Formula1.com Formula1.com Limited 27 December 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20141010081626/http://www.formula1.com/results/season/2005/747/ 10 October 2014https://gparchive.com/formula-1/2005-belgian-grand-prix/ 2005 Belgian Grand Prix - Race Results & History - GP Archive GPArchive.com 11 September 2005 8 January 2023 Notes 2 1 – Robert Doornbos and Christijan Albers started the race from the pitlane.
