Spain is kind to B.A.R in Qualifying
If you ever needed evidence that Spain is B.A.R country, then 1st and 3rd should be enough for now. It's the B.A.R of Button which has taken pole position, his 3rd career pole position.
It's going to be an interesting race with top 3 drivers suffering again. Salo did the best of the 3 in 13th but Sato and Ralf Schumacher are languishing down in 16th and 17th and have everything to do. Last year's winner Villeneuve will find it difficult to make it 3 out of 3 in Spain from 20th.
The advantage now falls on the chasing pack with Pantano, Pizzonia, Raikkonen and Fisichella all in the top 8. World Champion Firman is still struggling and starts 19th.
Button has yet to win a race but has the advantage yet again from pole position. Montoya and Pantano got identical times but Montoya was the first to get the time so he takes 2nd with Pantano 3rd. Renault usually go well round Spain too and start 4th and 5th with Barrichello 4th and Pizzonia 5th. Coulthard's McLaren is in 6th and Fisichella is on the verge of becoming a contender in 7th. The winner in San Marino, Raikkonen, has a chance of more points in 8th.

A close qualifying so we can expect some close racing. Can anyone end B.A.R's dominance of Spain?

Yeah! 4th! Barrichelo is back to his winning ways :D Hopefully he can gain 3 places in the race ;)
Yeah, no problem Quinty. All the new additions are allowed to enter predictions for the next Grand Prix onwards. To enter predictions, wait for the preview topics. Also, follow your drivers throughout the season.
8th eh. Bit of work to do but I'm still on a high from the last win (or, in reality, the first) so confidence is oozing :)
