After the fiasco of the two one-lap sessions that the F1 had envisioned for the 2005 seasosn, and that they decided to drop after just 6 races, the rest of the season's qualifyings were disputed on a single on-lap format, as it happened in this race.

This time around, Jenson Button managed to secure the pole position with a time of 1:15.217 seconds, 0.258 seconds faster than Michael Schumacher, who completed the first line of the grid.
