Pre-Race Report

Previous race

Hamilton won in Canada from pole position, his first Formula One victory in only his sixth race. Nick Heidfeld finished second and Alexander Wurz third — the first podium of the season for a driver from a team other than McLaren or Ferrari. It was the final podium of Wurz’s career.

Entrants

Robert Kubica does not start. Although he passed the medical examination following his massive crash in Canada, the FIA medical delegate decided it would be inadvisable to risk another concussion so soon after the first. He is replaced at BMW Sauber by Formula Renault 3.5 Series championship leader Sebastian Vettel, 19 years old, making his Formula One debut.

Practice

McLaren and BMW Sauber dominate Friday morning, with Alonso setting the fastest time. Vettel goes fourth fastest on his first Formula One practice session. Ferrari, who expected their pace to return at Indianapolis, find themselves either side of Williams driver Rosberg, in fifth and seventh.
