Homegrown hero pips Villeneuve to pole
It was Fernando Alonso that took pole position, in front of his home crowd, to deny Villeneuve his second consecutive pole position in Spain. This race will be Alonso's fifth race in the SR Championship and he marks it with his first pole position of his career.
As for the rest of the pack, the drivers near the back will feel pretty unlucky that they weren't further up. The times were so close that the top 10 were split by just a tenth of a second and the whole field were split by just over 2 tenths.
Alonso will be looking for a solid points finish from pole and Villeneuve is in a prime position to win the Spanish Grand Prix for the second year in a row from second on the grid. Jordan's fortunes are looking slightly better with 3rd for Fisichella. Wilson continues his impressive qualifying performances with 4th. Trulli and De La Rosa posted the same times but Trulli got his in first so he takes 5th while De La Rosa settles for 6th. Montoya and Button are dangerous from 7th and 8th respectively.
Full qualifying times:
1st Alonso (Random Hero) 1m18.233s - Lap Record
2nd Villeneuve (Dog Breath) 1m18.237s
3rd Fisichella (Badgerman) 1m18.249s
4th Wilson (MikeAll) 1m18.258s
5th Trulli (Ant) 1m18.273s
6th De La Rosa (Virtuoso) 1m18.273s
7th Montoya (Afrojoe) 1m18.299s
8th Button (Der Nazi) 1m18.303s
9th Raikkonen (Ineedsleep) 1m18.310s
10th R Schumacher (Absolut Neo) 1m18.327s
11th Irvine (Crunk Dow) 1m18.336s
12th Firman (DW) 1m18.343s
13th M Schumacher (Shadow) 1m18.351s

21st Webber (Evil Dark) 1m18.404s
22nd Heidfeld (Sylphetic) 1m18.449s
With times this close, anyone can win this race. The question is, who are the winners and losers going to be after the dust settles on this race?

Cruel fate, or Grandprix's PC.
Downfall...nnnnoooooo...Why Verstappen, why?!
Im sure this is fixed :)
Nah, its just stupid Frentzen is crap.

7th.
Again.
Again.
Whoo, big up Renault, Trulli and Alonso!
Middle of the grid again, hopefully can pick up a few points again.
8th is pretty good. Villeneuve dominated this race last year so he would probably do pretty well this time round.
8th? Damn. At least Button will challenge for the points. How the hell did Villeneuve come 2nd? Grr. >:-(
Oh dear, I have a bad feeling about this one.
FOREMAN! YAY!
