Spain 2011 - The race - Webber heads up the grid as the racing action gets underway
Published by Christine
Sebastian Vettel missed out on his first pole position of 2011, allowing teammate Webber to take just a little bit of the glory. That means the pair line up on the front row of the grid in Barcelona, with a McLaren and Ferrari behind.
Who can take the win? Will we finally see a safety car? How far can Heidfeld make it through the order?
The Renault will be at the back, and it'll be another good example of DRS in action - particularly with the news that there will be two DRS zones in future races. Also keep an eye on the tyres, as drivers have been complaining about the new harder compound.
The race gets underway at 1pm GMT+1, with the Factbyte Factbox starting one hour beforehand for all the excellent buildup.
