The accident at the start, Montoya was on the outside going into turn 1, Webber was next to him they touched and Webber went into the gravel trap and retired. Many other drivers were involved but non retired.

The order got mixed up because of that and that is why Coulthard got up into 4th!

Trulli gets a drive through!
