Pedro de la Rosa returned to the Formula 1 hot-seat with a great performance in the Bahrain Grand Prix. Pedro was handed his chance by an unfortunate injury to his team-mate, and fellow CSS Stellar client, Juan Pablo Montoya, and he seized the opportunity to show that he has lost none of his quality or speed.

In an exciting race, Pedro steered his McLaren Mercedes home to an impressive 5th place overall, with his team-mate Kimi Raikkonen coming in 3rd to complete a very satisfactory afternoon for the team.

Pedro was understandably very happy afterwards and was quick to give credit to his support team: “I must thank the whole team who have worked so hard to provide me with a car that was both fast and reliable.” – 3 April 2005
