Raikkonen streaked away at the start, while
Webber went rapidly backwards, and it soon
became clear the McLaren star was unlikely
to be headed. For a while Fisichella looked
capable of challenging his Renault team
mate, but again poor luck hit the Italian
and he was forced to make an unscheduled
stop. Ahead of him were the Toyotas, the
Japanese team proving their loss of form
in Imola was, as promised, only a temporary
blip. Behind him was Webber, whose race
strategy effectively went out the window
with his poor start, and Montoya, who had
a typically eventful race on his return
from injury for McLaren, surviving a 360
degree spin on his way to seventh. Whatever
the perfect combination of factors that
had played in the favour of Ferrari at Imola,
it had disappeared in Spain. Schumacher
could only qualify eighth, while an engine
change dropped Barrichello to the back of
the grid and things got worse in the race.

Historic info Barcelona Spain
The Spanish Grand Prix is a Formula One
race held at the Circuit de Catalunya in
Barcelona. The very first Spanish
Grand Prix was held in 1913. In 1955,
a terrible accident at Le Mans resulted
in regulations governing spectator safety,
and the pedestrian-lined street track at
Pedralbes was dropped from the racing calendar.
In 1968, Jarama hosted the Spanish Grand
Prix. The 1975 Grand Prix was marked by
tragedy. Double-winner Emerson Fittipaldi
retired in protest after a single lap. Rolf
Stommelen's car crashed killing four spectators.
The race was stopped. The Spanish Grand
Prix was confined to Jarama until 1981.
In 1985, the Mayor of Jerez commissioned
a new racing circuit in his town to promote
tourism and sherries. The track was finished
in time for the 1986 championship, which
saw a furious battle between Ayrton Senna
and Nigel Mansell, with the two cars finishing
side by side. The 1990 Spanish Grand Prix
was the last in Jerez. Work on the Circuit
de Catalunya was underway in Barcelona,
and in 1991, the event moved to this new
track, where it has remained since.
