Believe it or not, a driver named Roldán almost won the 2005 Turkish GP.  What happened?

Ok, maybe too vague.  Just tell me who Mr. Roldán (family name) actually is and who the winner was of the 2005 Turkish GP (just a throw in).

[Scott]

Aw c'mon people...I have a heck of a time figuring out all your historical questions and I throw a tidbit of trivia and nobody has a clue?   

[John S]

In answer to your first question Roldán is part of the family name of Juan Pablo Montoya and he lost 2nd place in the Turkish GP in 2005 because he had a coming together with a back marker in the penultimate lap and then had another off all by himself allowing Alonso to get by, Montoya kept 3rd though. Kimi in the other McLaren won the race.

[Scott]

On to you John!
