Qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona has just been completed with Brawn’s Jenson Button stealing pole position at the last possible second from Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel.
While it is not unusual these days for Brawn and Red Bull to be fighting for the pole, it is good to see some resurgence from Ferrari with Felipe Massa placing his scarlet racer fourth on the grid just behind Brawn’s Rubens Barrichello. Australia’s Mark Webber will start in fifth place.
Grid for the 2009 Spanish Grand Prix
- Jenson Button – Brawn
- Sebastian Vettel – Red Bull
- Rubens Barrichello – Brawn
- Felipe Massa – Ferrari
- Mark Webber – Red Bull
- Timo Glock – Toyota
- Jarno Trulli – Toyota
- Fernando Alonso – Renault
- Nico Rosberg – Williams
- Robert Kubica – BMW Sauber

I have a feeling that this will be another Button benefit with the Brit expected to take yet another race victory, although I’d like Vettel to win. I have a feeling it will be two Brawns followed by two Red Bulls followed by two Toyotas.
My Predictions
- Button
- Barrichello
- Vettel
- Webber
- Trulli
