Round 6: The Telefonica Spanish Grand Prix


Coming off a string of victories at the last two races Michael Schumacher and Ferrari appear to be back in contention for the title. McLaren on the other hand have been unable to compete for a win yet this season. The Spanish Grand Prix will prove to be an interesting one as Fernando Alonso has succeeded in grabbing pole for the first time at his home grand prix, leading a Renault 1-2. In 14 out of the 15 running of the Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona, it has been won from the front row. The exception being a win by Michael Schumacher from 3rd place in the wet. The Renault dominance might be somewhat artificial however as Micheal hinted at in the post qualifying press conference that he may have several laps of fuel on hand. However it unfolds it's bound to create edge of the seat excitement in front of a sell out crowd, there to watch their man Fernando Alonso.
Another interesting stat is that if Michael wins tomorrow it will be the 5th track that he will have 7 wins at, tying his own record for most wins at a track and increasing his record for how many tracks this is at.
