Spanish GP: Fastest Race Laps

McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen suffers concussion but no injuries in a heavy accident in the Spanish Grand Prix.

Super Aguri experienced mixed fortunes at the 2008 Spanish Grand Prix today. Takuma Sato took the chequered flag in 13th position, the team's highest placing of the season to date, whilst Anthony Davidson was forced to retire his SA08A in the opening stages of the race due to an overheating issue resulting from a pierced water radiator.

The BMW Sauber F1 Team ended up with five Championship points for Robert Kubica after an action packed Spanish Grand Prix. This means second in the Constructor's standings ahead of McLaren Mercedes, who lost a car in a heavy accident. Initial information is that Heikki Kovalainen is ok. Nick Heidfeld had bad luck as he was forced to refuel during the subsequent safety car period. A stop and go penalty dropped him down from fifth to the back of the pack. 

Force India secured its best-ever finish in the Spanish Grand Prix. Giancarlo Fisichella claimed 10th position to give the team its first top 10 finish in just four races. Adrian Sutil did not finish the race after a first-lap collision brought his Spanish Grand Prix to a very premature end. 

Kazuki Nakajima secured two points for the Williams team today at the Spanish Grand Prix, thereby confirming the team's fourth place in the Constructors' Championship. Kazuki was one of just 13 finishers this afternoon during an eventful race which saw two safety car periods. Nico Rosberg executed the best start of the day, jumping from 15th on the grid to 11th position by the end of the first lap.  Unfortunately, however, he was unable to capitalise on his efforts when a failure on his FW30 forced him into the team's first retirement of the season on lap 42 of the race. 

Jarno Trulli brought his Toyota home in eighth place to claim a single point for Toyota in the Spanish Grand Prix. Team mate Timo Glock finished eleventh. 

Mark Webber brought home a strong haul of four points for Red Bull Racing in the Spanish Grand Prix today while David Coulthard finished twelfth. 

It was a short day for both Toro Rossos as Sebastien Bourdais and Sebastian Vettel both retired from the Spanish Grand Prix in the opening stages.

Spanish GP: Result

Renault suffered a disappointing afternoon in Barcelona as both Fernando Alonso and Nelson Piquet retired from the Spanish Grand Prix. After a promising performance in yesterday's qualifying session, the team started the race in good shape and Fernando raced competitively at the front of the field during the opening laps. But Nelson's early retirement set the tone for an afternoon of unrealised potential as the Brazilian was involved in a midfield collision on lap seven, causing damage to his R28.

Raikkonen heads Ferrari 1-2 in Spain

Lewis Hamilton was very happy to be back on the podium at the Circuit de Catalunya after a couple of tough races in Malaysia and Bahrain. Hamilton is now second in the championship with 20 points, nine behind Kimi Raikkonen.

Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen dominates the Spanish Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton struggles to third place.

Kimi Raikkonen stormed to victory in the Spanish Grand Prix, starting from pole position and never looking back. The Finn took his second win of the season to extend his championship lead to nine points. Massa finished second and Hamilton third, while local hero Fernando Alonso's hopes went up in smoke with an engine failure.

Heikki Kovalainen has been air-lifted to hospital in Barcelona after a 150mph crash head-on into the tyre barriers early in the Spanish Grand Prix. Indications are that the Finnish driver has not suffered a serious injury and McLaren believes a problem with the wheel rim caused the accident.

Mosley's next moves

Renault engineering director Pat Symonds admitted that his drivers Fernando Alonso and Nelson Piquet are on significantly different strategies for this afternoon's race - Piquet running a more conservative heavy fuel load and Alonso an aggressive light fuel load.

Fernando Alonso was full of praise for his Renault team after developments the team made in testing at Barcelona last week enabled him to qualify second for his home Grand Prix and even fight for pole position.

Lewis Hamilton looked shocked after he ended up qualifying in fifth place for the Spanish Grand Prix. The McLaren driver had been as high as second, but in the final seconds Kubica, Alonso and Raikkonen all went faster.

McLaren team boss Ron Dennis is convinced his drivers are still able to fight in front of the field during the race. Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen didn't do much better than a fifth and sixth position, not the place you would expect the championship candidates.

Former Formula 1 driver Scott Speed got back in the winning mood on Saturday as the American won his first ARCA RE/MAX race. The former Scuderia Toro Rosso driver clinched his first win since he got fired last year and replaced by Sebastian Vettel.
