Ferrari has much to celebrate yet again with Kimi Raikkonen circling the Barcelona track with a time of 1:21.813 to gain pole position for the Spanish Grand Prix. Hometown hero Fernando Alonso will be starting second with the Finn’s lap-time larceny with Raikkonen clocking faster just by 0.091 seconds than the Spaniard.

A good day all in all for Ferrari with Felipe Massa starting at third and BMW Sauber’s Robert Kubica starting at fourth. So much for Lewis Hamilton, clocking only fifth fastest. Joining Hamilton on third row are McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen.

Alonso and team Renault are quite proud with their achievement today with the use of lighter fuel which shaved burden off the car allowing Alonso to zoom with a quick lap.

Raikkonen leads all drivers in the standings followed respectively by Nick Heidfeld and Lewis Hamilton.
