Catalunya Info
Race Date: 09 May 2010
Number of Laps: 66
Circuit Length: 4.655 km
Race Distance: 307.104 km
Lap Record: 1:21.670 - K Raikkonen (2008)

The 2010 Spanish Grand Prix (formally the LI Gran Premio de España) will be the fifth round of the 2010 Formula One season. It is scheduled to be held on May 9.

It is expected that Virgin Racing will bring a significantly different chassis to the race, accommodating the necessary expanded fuel tank. Lotus F1 Racing also will have significant new modifications.

Defending champion Jenson Button leads the Championship by ten points from Mercedes' Nico Rosberg. Rosberg is a point clear of Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton, Button's McLaren team-mate. Three other drivers remain within 20 points of the leader.

McLaren's maximum score in Shanghai gives them a 19 point lead in the Constructors' Championship from Ferrari, with Red Bull a further 17 points behind. Mercedes and Renault also boast significant points totals.

Last year's Spanish Grand Prix was won by Jenson Button for Brawn GP, with Ferrari pair Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa also past winners. Michael Schumacher has won the race a record six times. Massa is the only winner since the 1980s to win a Spanish Grand Prix and not have won at some stage the Formula One World Championship. Ferrari have won six of the last ten Spanish Grands Prix.

lets hope Schumi is better this weekend. He looks good in practise. I know he won`t be winning like before but can`t see him being lapped all the time while his team mate is on the podium.

Very reminiscent of Kovalainen's off at Spain a couple of years ago. His left front hub let go. Looked like a similar thing. Pity though cos he deserved the points.
