1m31.447s. The fastest lap of the 2005 Bahrain Grand Prix, set by Pedro de la Rosa, remains the official lap record at the Sakhir circuit - something the Spaniard will boast about whenever the opportunity arises. And it doesn't take him even a second to name the McLaren MP4-20 his favourite car of all time.
The McLaren of the 2005 season was a formidable weapon in the hands of Juan Pablo Montoya and Kimi Raikkonen, winning 10 of the 18 races it contested in F1 that year. Yet both titles went to Fernando Alonso and Renault.
