Button headed home team-mate Lewis Hamilton, who putin a typically feisty performance, but ultimately lost out toButtons superior strategy. Rain had been predicted forSunday and with perfect timing it began to fall just as the

cars headed out to the grid. It was only a gentle drizzle and notquite enough to push anyone into starting on intermediate tyres.The variable weather then galvanised the teams and drivers intomany different strategies.At the start Fernando Alonso got into the lead by shooting past

the Red Bulls of Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber ahead, but theSpaniard had clearly jumped the gun and was ultimately assesseda drive-through penalty.

A first-lap crash brought out a safety car, and with the rainincreasing in intensity some drivers down the field stopped forintermediates at the end of the lap. Second time around most ofthose at the front decided to come in, with Alonso, Webber, Vetteland Hamilton leading the charge. However, Button, Nico Rosberg,Robert Kubica and a couple of others decided to stay out on drytyres, which left them at the head of the field for the restart.For a couple of laps those on the wet-weather covers seemed to

have the advantage, but with the track drying quickly it soonbecame clear that the decision to stay on dries was a good one.Those who had swapped earlier had to stop again and switch backleaving the drivers who had not pitted at all clear in front.

BUTTON WINSagainJenson Button made it two wins infour starts for McLaren in China asonce more the World Championshowed his sure touch in wetconditions in an enthralling race

RACE REPORT16


Later the rain returned and led to another round of stops, thistime for everyone, while a second safety car for debris closed upthe field. Button maintained his lead at the restart, but as the racewound down he was caught by Hamilton, who had spent much ofhis afternoon fighting his way past people. In the closing laps bothMcLaren drivers, like many behind, were struggling with worn outtyres, but they crossed the line safely with Button just 1.5 secondsin front.

Rosberg turned his good early strategy call into third place, aresult that gave the Mercedes team a boost. After an eventful racethat saw him struggling to hold off other cars, his team-mateMichael Schumacher had to settle for a lowly 10th.

Alonso recovered from his drive-through penalty to take fourth,having overtaken Kubica in the closing laps. Vettel lost a lot of timewith a bad early tyre call and delay in the pits, and could not bettersixth as once again his pole position was wasted. Petrov did agood job to take seventh and his first finish for Renault, ahead of alow-key Webber, Felipe Massa and Schumacher.

Adrian Sutil was just outside the points in 11th, while amongthose who did not make the flag were Pedro de la Rosa, whohad an engine failure, and first-lap crash victims VitantonioLiuzzi, Sbastien Buemi, and Kamui Kobayashi.

All in all an enthralling encounter that showed thesport at its very best.

ajustadas en esta primera etapa de la temporada que es ms seguro enumerarlos equipos en orden estricto que predecir cul podra ser el puntero!

Este ao, en lo ms alto de la lista se encuentra McLaren, gracias a queJenson Button trae consigo el nmero uno despus de ganar el ttulo conBrawn la temporada pasada. El equipo funcion bien hacia el final de laspruebas de invierno y su inteligente sistema F-Duct -que ayuda a reducir laresistencia haciendo que el alern trasero entre en prdida- hizo reflexionara los rivales.

Sin embargo, el equipo pareci estar un poco fuera del ritmo de los punterosal comienzo de la temporada, aunque Button logr un triunfo brillante en slosu segunda carrera con la escuadra durante aquel dramtico encuentro bajo lalluvia en Australia. Pocos esperaban que Jenson se desempeara bien frente aLewis Hamilton este ao, pero la victoria demostr que no se lo debesubestimar y le dio mucha ms confianza en s mismo. Desde luego, Jensongan aqu el ao pasado, pero Hamilton contina buscando su primera victoriaen Barcelona. Finaliz segundo en 2007 y tercero el ao siguiente.

McLaren gan esta carrera ocho veces desde 1975, incluido un triplete paraMika Hkkinen entre 1998 y 2000. Sin embargo, dicho logro fue superado porMichael Schumacher, que gan cuatro veces entre 2001 y 2004, cada aodesde la pole. Schumacher tiene un gran rcord aqu en Barcelona, al haberganado seis carreras en total y quedado en la pole siete veces. Por cierto,obtuvo su primera victoria para Ferrari en este lugar, en 1996.

Ahora est de regreso y Mercedes GP espera que las ltimasactualizaciones den al equipo la ventaja que le ha faltado.Schumacher no ha estado del todo feliz con el automvil

ni con la falta de agarre de los neumticos delanteros ms

pequeos de este ao. Se las ha visto complicadas tambin

por su compaero de equipo Nico Rosberg, quien realmente

ha redoblado el desafo de enfrentarse al siete veces campen

mundial, lo que no ha daado su reputacin en lo absoluto.

En 2009, Mercedes triunf aqu con el nombre de Brawn, en

un da en que Mark Webber y Sebastian Vettel obtuvieron el

tercer y cuarto lugar para la escudera Red Bull Racing. En esa

etapa, estbamos comenzando a entender qu competitivo se

estaba volviendo el equipo Red Bull. Un ao despus, muchos

consideran al equipo como el favorito al ttulo para la

temporada 2010. Desafortunadamente, Sebastian Vettel no tuvo un buen inicio

en su desafo por el ttulo, al perder triunfos por un problema

de motor en Bahrin y por una rueda floja en Australia.

Evidentemente, esos puntos podran haberle costado muy

caro si no fuera porque gan en Malasia. Su compaero de

equipo Mark Webber tuvo un inicio igualmente frustrante en la

temporada, pero no se lo puede descartar, ya que dio una gran

avanzada aqu el ao pasado.Adivinar quin ser el ganador podra ser difcil, pero

estamos bastante seguros de quin obtendr el mayor apoyo

de las multitudes este fin de semana. Aqu, Fernando Alonso

ha sido el centro desde su debut con Minardi en 2001 y

siempre parece cumplir con la tarea frente a los

aficionados espaoles.

De hecho, termin entre los cinco primeros en las ltimas

siete carreras, logr cinco podios y obtuvo el triunfo ms

celebrado en 2006 con Renault. Comenz este ao ganando

en Bahrin y ya es obvio que Alonso/Ferrari es una

combinacin soada. Puede ampliar el rcord total de Ferrari

de 11 triunfos en la carrera espaola desde el primer xito

obtenido por la escudera en 1954? El inicio relmpago de Fernando no le facilit para nada la

vida a Felipe Massa, quien se recuper de la lesin del ao

pasado a lo grande y se encontr con el compaero de equipo

quiz ms duro en la calle de boxes. No olvidemos que Felipe

gan aqu en 2007 y sali segundo al ao siguiente, por lo

tanto, sabe lo que se necesita para ser rpido en este circuito.

La temporada pasada termin quinto despus de tener que

aminorar la marcha para ahorrar combustible.

Williams gan el Gran Premio de Espaa en seis ocasiones;

la ms reciente fue en 1997 con Jacques Villeneuve. Este ao,

el equipo est liderado por Rubens Barrichello, que termin

After the hustleand bustle of thefour flyaway racesoutside Europe, theWorld Championshipenters its European leg herein Barcelona this weekend

At the topof the list thisyear is McLaren,thanks to JensonButton bringing the numberone with him after winning the titlewith Brawn last season. The teamlooked good toward the end of wintertesting, and its clever F-Duct system which helps reduce drag by stalling the rearwing gave rivals plenty of food for thought.

However, the team seemed to be a little off thefront-running pace at the start of the season,although Button scored a brilliant win in only hissecond race for them in that dramatic wet encounter inAustralia. Few expected Jenson to show well againstLewis Hamilton this year, but the victory showed that he isnot to be underestimated, and was a huge boost to hisconfidence. Jenson won here last year of course, butHamilton is still looking for his first Barcelona victory. Hefinished second in 2007, and third the following year.

After being on the road for several weeks theteams have finally had a chance to get back tobase and catch their breath. Significantly, thisfirst European race traditionally sees all teams

introduce a major package of updates, one that willdetermine where they stand in the pecking order for atleast the next few races.

It is a particularly important weekend for three newteams, all of whom had very little time to get ready for thestart of the season. They have all had long job lists withwhich to catch up, and they are also appearing here forthe first time with their new cockpit-mounted wing mirrorsafter most drivers complained about a lack of rear visionin Australia.

All the teams with the exception of late starters HRT were here for testing in February. Although some of therunning was lost to rain, it did give everyone a goodbaseline set-up with which to start this weekend.

The key will be how the Bridgestone tyres behave, andwhat impact that has on how the race unfolds. Barcelonahas traditionally been a venue that works the tyres hard,and we could well see a two-stop strategy finding favourup and down the pitlane.

So who is going to win this weekend? Things are sotight at this early stage of the season that it is safer to rundown the teams in strict number order than predict whomight be at the front!

EUROPEAN

Start


McLaren has won this race eight times since 1975, includinga hat-trick for Mika Hkkinen in 19982000. However, even that

achievement was bettered by Michael Schumacher, who won fourtimes between 2001 and 2004, each year from pole position.Schumacher has a great record here at Barcelona, winning sixraces in total, and sitting on pole seven times. Indeed he scoredhis first victory for Ferrari at this venue in 1996.

Now he is back, and Mercedes GP will be hoping that the latestupdates will give the team the edge it has been lacking.Schumacher has not been entirely happy with the car or the lack ofgrip provided by this years smaller front tyres. He has been givena hard time too by team-mate Nico Rosberg, who has reallystepped up to the challenge of taking on the seven times WorldChampion, and it has done his reputation no harm at all.

Mercedes triumphed here under the Brawn name in 2009, on aday when Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel finished third andfourth for Red Bull Racing. At that stage we were just starting to

appreciate how competitive Red Bull team was becoming. Oneyear later, the team is regarded by many as the title favourite for 2010.

Unfortunately Sebastian Vettel did not get off his title challengeto a great start, losing wins to an engine problem in Bahrain, and aloose wheel in Australia. Clearly those points could have provedvery costly had he not won in Malaysia. His team-mate MarkWebber had an equally frustrating start to the season, but hecannot be counted out, and put in a great drive here last year.

Guessing the winner might be hard, but we can be pretty surewho will get the lions share of the crowds support this weekend.Fernando Alonso has been the focal point here since his debutwith Minardi in 2001, and he always seems to get the job done infront of his Spanish fans.

In fact he has finished in the top five in each of the last sevenyears, taking five podiums and scoring a popular win in 2006 withRenault. He started this year by winning in Bahrain, and it is

already obvious that Alonso/Ferrari is a dreamcombination. Can he add to Ferraris record totalof 11 wins in the Spanish race since the firstsuccess in 1954?

Fernandos flying start has not made life anyeasier for Felipe Massa, who hasbounced back from last years injury ingreat style, only to find himself withperhaps the toughest team-mate inthe pit lane. Do not forget that Felipewon here in 2007, and was runner-up the year after that, so he knowswhat it takes to be quick here. Lastseason he finished fifth after slowingto save fuel.

Williams has won the Grand Prix inSpain on six occasions, the most recentbeing in 1997 with Jacques Villeneuve. Thisyear the team is led by Rubens Barrichello, who finishedsecond last year, and has been a Barcelona podiumregular over the years. The Brazilian is finding life a littleharder than it was with Brawn, but the Williams has at least been aregular top-ten contender. Team-mate Nico Hlkenberg is in hisfirst Spanish Formula 1 race, but like all five 2010 rookies on thisyears grid, he knows the track well from GP2.

There is of course no Alonso at Renault this year, but the teamhas an able replacement in the shape of Robert Kubica. The Polishdriver had a low-key season with BMW in 2009, but he remindedus of his true potential when he took an excellent second place inAustralia. The car still lacks a bit of qualifying pace, but Kubicaalways takes any chance going. Team-mate Vitaly Petrov is on asteep learning curve, but has showed some signs of promise,especially dicing hard with Lewis Hamilton in Malaysia.

Force India made huge strides in the course of last season, andthat momentum has carried on into this year. From the start theteam has been a top-ten contender in both qualifying and races,and Vitantonio Liuzzi has put in some good drives and boosted his

reputation. Adrian Sutilwill be keen to make upfor last year, when he was involved in a first-corner crash.

This will be a big weekend for ScuderiaToro Rossos Jaime Alguersuari, who iscompeting in his first Grand Prix in Spain at the age ofjust 20. He had some idea of what to expect in Valencialast year, but the fans here are much more vocal, and he hasbecome better known to the public since then. He impressedby holding off Schumacher in Australia, but we should not

forget that he is still finding his way in Formula 1, as is team-mate Sbastien Buemi.

The Lotus name has a great history in Spain, with the likes ofEmerson Fittipaldi and Mario Andretti winning at Montjuich Parkand Jarama, and the last of the teams six Spanish victories wasachieved by Ayrton Senna back in 1986. The new incarnationof the squad is not going to add to that tally in the short term,but there is no doubt that it carries some of the spirit of theoriginal. Jarno Trulli was third here in both 2004 and 2005 withToyota, but this year he will be happy just to see thechequered flag, while Heikki Kovalainen was seventh on hisdebut with Renault three years ago.

Last June the FIA awarded a 2010 entry spot toCampos Meta, but founder and former Formula 1 racerAdrian Campos struggled to get it up and running.Over the winter there were a lot of organisationalchanges before the team emerged in Bahrainunder its new Hispania Racing identity. HRT isnevertheless still the first team to fly the Spanishflag, so it should get some good support thisweekend. Rookies Bruno Senna and KarunChandhok know they have to be patient,but they will be hoping to at least see thechequered flag.

BMW Sauber is not of course a new team, but itslipped down the 2010 entry list when it had to re-enter the Championship at the end of last year. Without BMWsupport, the team has downsized, and thus far it has not lived up tothe promise of winter testing. The presence of Pedro de la Rosameans that the Swiss outfit will get a lot of local support, whileKamui Kobayashi is making his first Spanish Formula 1 start.

Last but not least is the Virgin Racing team. Technical issuesmean that it has been a fraught start to the season for the newoutfit, but since China it has finally had time to catch up withdevelopment, so hopefully reliability has been addressed. TimoGlock has not had much luck here on previous appearances inSpain, while Lucas di Grassi is continuing to learn the ropes.

For the fourth year, DHL will once againbe awarding their Fastest Lap Trophy tothe driver who attains the greatestnumber of fastest laps during the Grand

Prix season.The contest for the 2009 DHL Fastest LapTrophy was in fact only decided on thepenultimate lap of the seasons final Grand Prix,in Abu Dhabi, when Sebastian Vettel posted thefastest lap of the race at the Yas Marina Circuit.He secured victory in the overall standingsahead of Red Bull Racing team-mate MarkWebber, who had been in the lead at the start of the race.

At the chequered flag, both drivers had eachset three fastest laps, which meant that thenumber of second fastest laps had now to betaken into account. The young German driverwas in front on this score by three to one.Sebastian himself was delighted with hissuccess, saying: I am very pleased. It means alot to me to have my achievements recognisedin this way. I wanted to post the fastest lap of therace, which is why, just before the finish, I reallyput my foot to the floor again!

TheMcLaren MP4-25 looked like the fastest car formuch of pre-season testing, and while the early racesshowed that Red Bull has an edge, the silver car isperhaps the major threat. It will no doubt get faster as

the teams R&D kicks in. Jenson Buttons superb win in thewet/dry race in Australia was a major boost, while LewisHamilton showed his usual flair while chasing through the fieldboth in Australia and Malaysia. The team has a clear straight-line speed advantage, thanks to the cars controversial F-Ductsystem. A bit like KERS last year, it makes the cars harder toovertake.

ElMcLaren MP4-25 pareca ser el coche ms rpidodurante muchas de las pruebas de pretemporada yaunque las primeras carreras mostraron que Red Bulltena una ventaja, el auto plateado es, quiz, la mayor

amenaza. Sin dudas, ser ms rpido cuando el equipo deInvestigacin y Desarrollo de la escudera entre en accin. Elmagnfico triunfo de Jenson Button en la carrera en lluvia y enseco de Australia fue de gran ayuda, mientras que LewisHamilton mostr su estilo habitual al sobrepasar a todos enAustralia y Malasia. La escudera tiene una ventaja develocidad en las rectas, gracias al sistema F-Duct. Un pococomo sucedi con el KERS el ao pasado, este nuevo sistemahace que sean ms difciles los adelantamientos.

CHINA RACE UPDATEMcLaren looked strong from the start of practice, and Lewis Hamiltonimpressed by topping both opening-qualifying sections, but when itmattered he slipped to sixth, a place behind Jenson Button. Button madea brilliant call at the start of the race, staying on dry tyres while othersmade what proved to be a fruitless switch to intermediates. He passedRosberg for the lead on lap 19 and stayed there to the finish. Hamiltonlost ground with his early tyre change but fought back in great style to beon Jensons tail at the flag, despite badly worn tyres.

McLaren se vea fuerte desde el inicio de la prctica libre, y LewisHamilton caus una buena impresin al encabezar las dos primerassesiones de calificacin, pero en el momento necesario, qued en sextolugar, por detrs de Jenson Button. Button tom una decisin brillante alinicio de la carrera, al mantener los neumticos de seco, mientras que losdems tomaron la decisin de cambiar a neumticos intermedios, lo queluego demostr ser intil. Pas a Rossbeg para tomar la punta en lavuelta 19 y se mantuvo all hasta el final. Hamilton perdi terreno con sucambio de neumticos al comienzo de la carrera, pero luch a lo grandepara terminar tras Jenson en la bandera a cuadros, a pesar del grandesgaste que haban sufrido los neumticos.

Jenson Button carries number one on his car this year, havingtaken it with him when he made his dramatic move from Brawnto McLaren last November. His decision brought a lot ofcriticism from those who wondered why he would want to takeon Hamilton in the same car. It is certainly not going to be easyto fight his fellow Englishman as the year goes on, butJensons choice appeared to be vindicated when he scored abrilliant win in Australia, making an early stop for dry tyres andthen keeping up his pace to the end of the race.

Este ao, Jenson Button lleva el nmero uno en su auto, que lotrae consigo de cuando hizo su espectacular paso de Brawn aMcLaren en noviembre pasado. Su decisin gener muchascrticas por parte de aquellos que se preguntaban por ququerra enfrentarse a Hamilton en el mismo auto. Ciertamente,no ser fcil luchar con su compatriota a medida que avance elao, pero la eleccin de Jenson qued reivindicada cuandoobtuvo un brillante triunfo en Australia, tras haber paradoprimero para hacer el cambio de neumticos para pista seca yluego mantener el ritmo hasta el final de la carrera.

After his difficult 2009 season Lewis Hamilton has undoubtedlybecome a stronger driver than ever before, and he put intypically feisty drives as he charged through the field in bothMelbourne and Sepang - although neither resulted in a podium.This year Lewis faces an interesting challenge as JensonButton joins him in the McLaren camp. The 2008 WorldChampion has the advantage of his long establishedrelationship with the team, but in some ways Button has lesspressure on him, as Hamilton is generally expected to have theedge. It will be fascinating to see how things develop.

Despus de la difcil temporada de 2009, Lewis Hamilton se haconvertido, indudablemente, en un piloto ms fuerte y, comode costumbre, dio un fuerte golpe al sobrepasar a todos enMelbourne y en Sepang, aunque no obtuvo un podio enninguna de las dos carreras. Este ao, Lewis se enfrenta a undesafo interesante, ya que Jenson Button se le une en elbando de McLaren. El campen mundial de 2008 tiene laventaja de una larga relacin con el equipo, pero, de algunamanera, Button tiene menos presin, ya que suele esperarseque Hamilton tenga la ventaja. Ser fascinante ver cmo sedesarrollan las cosas.

TheMercedes name is back this year for the first timesince 1955 after the manufacturer bought the BrawnGP team. As always there is a lot more to getting thingsright than just re-badging a winning organisation, and

the team has yet to show the sort of form we saw at the start oflast year. However with Ross Brawn still at the helm andMichael Schumacher pushing development, the team has thepotential to become the pacesetter as the year goes on, whilethe battle between the former World Champion and his youngteam-mate is going to keep everyone on their toes.

At 41 Michael Schumacher is back in the headlines in 2010after three years in retirement. We never thought we would seehim at the wheel again, but the chance to rejoin Ross Brawn atMercedes was clearly too good an opportunity to miss. No onewas expecting miracles, least of all Michael, and it will take himtime to get back to where he was. The early races broughtsome frustration, and things like the first-lap tangle with Alonsoin Australia - followed by a loose wheel in Malaysia - haveconspired to make life difficult. But it would be wrong tounderestimate a man who has achieved so much.

A los 41 aos, Michael Schumacher vuelve a ser noticia en 2010despus de tres aos de haberse retirado. Nunca pensamosque lo veramos al volante nuevamente, pero la oportunidad devolver a juntarse con Ross Brawn en Mercedes era demasiadobuena para dejarla pasar. Nadie esperaba milagros, menos quemenos Michael, y le llevar tiempo volver al nivel en el queestaba cuando se retir. Las primeras carreras fueron un pocofrustrantes y situaciones como el problema de la primera vueltacon Alonso en Australia -seguido por una rueda floja enMalasia- conspiraron para dificultarle la vida. Pero no estarabien subestimar a un hombre que ha logrado tanto.

When Nico Rosberg signed for what was then still known asthe Brawn GP team he fully expected Jenson Button to be histeam-mate, and instead he found himself joined by perhaps thegreatest driver of all time. It is a huge challenge for Rosberg,but he has responded in the best way possible by proving hispoint on the track, and in the early races he outpacedSchumacher. He earned his first front-row spot in wet qualifyingin Malaysia, and turned that into a solid third place in the race.If the car improves he can be a race winner in 2010.

Cuando Nico Rosberg fich con lo que todava se conocacomo la escudera Brawn GP, esperaba que Jenson Buttonfuera su compaero de equipo, pero en cambio, se encontrcon que formara la pareja junto con el quizs ms maravillosopiloto de todos los tiempos. Es un gran desafo para Rosberg,pero ha respondido de la mejor manera posible y lo hademostrado en la pista; en las primeras carreras, dej atrs aSchumacher. Obtuvo su primer lugar en la delantera en unacalificacin en lluvia en Malasia y convirti eso en un slidotercer puesto en la carrera. Si el auto mejora, puede ser untriunfador en 2010.

Both men were beatenaway by the jump-starting Alonso, and both then tumbled down the orderafter their second-lap pit stops, during which Webber hit the front jackand Vettel was delayed.
