Infamous. That’s the only word that remains when the US GP of 2005 comes up in conversation, both in the Sett and in general F1 chit-chat. It stands as a pillar of confusion and bad decision making that turned the sport on it’s head for an afternoon, and sent it packing from America, a land rich with promise, a mere two years later.
