ROUND 4 - SPANISH GRAND PRIX - FRIDAY PRACTICE AND QUALIFYING
Hello and welcome to round 4 of the Formula One World Championship, here at the Catalunya circuit in Spain. The teams head here trying to stop Williams who have dominated the early season with Montoya and Barrichello. The race is the final race before the teams get to test at Jerez, so this weekend could prove to be important. Early forecasts suggest a wet Saturday but dry for the remainder of the weekend.
So let's see how the teams done in Friday Practice. Montoya proved once again the Williams' pace by setting the fastest lap, but M Schumacher showed Ferrari were improving and will push the Williams team this weekend. Renault also looked competitive while McLaren continued to struggle
Setup Reward.
1. Minardi +0.229
2. McLaren +0.222
3. BAR +0.035
4. Jaguar -0.013
5. Renault -0.088
6. Ferrari -0.237
And onto Qualifying. Indeed the weather forecast was right as the heavens opened on the Spanish track, flooding most of the circuit. This provided us with an amazing Qualifying session and has mixed up the whole pack ready for tomorrows race. Infact the pole lap was not caught by the TV camera's as it came from the most unlikely of teams and drivers, as De La Rosa took pole for Minardi alongside Arrows' Wilson and ahead of the Jaguar of Mark Webber. This has most certainly set up a fantastic race for tomorrow which you can join us here live for round 4!

I give up.
Glock had a great lap and 7th is very strong, especially as we can look to get passed some of the guys up ahead (arrows/minardi 
). But heidfeld had an obsolutely terrible day, will just be making the best of a terrible situation in the race...

Arrows Statement
Tonight Arrows are in shock about this result. We never antisipated Wilson being p2 on the grid
A great job by the brit and Trulli qualifying p17 is not that bad. We anticipate that normal service will be resumed tommorow so we are not celebrating just yet. This is just part 1 of 2. But it is nice to see the small teams at the front
Also the Arrows livery has changed. I dont mind because I actually prefer it lol. But im just wondering why

Sorry bud that's because i ran the race using the original wad i started with for 2004. Since Twigster took over he uses some different cars, such as the Williams front nose change etc. The only thing i changed in the wad was the helmets

ROUND 4 - SPANISH GRAND PRIX - RACE
You join us here near Barcelona in Spain for round 4 of the 2004 F1 season. The season so far has seen Williams dominate, but yesterday's qualifying provided a shock as Pedro De La Rosa clinched pole for minnows Minardi ahead of Arrows' Justin Wilson. With slower cars at the front due to adverse weather conditions and title contenders towards the back we're surely in for a fantastic race. So lets head down to the track for today's race and round 4 of the F1 season.....
65/65 The lights are about to go out and we're about to go racing. The lights go out and De La Rosa gets a fantastic start and remains infront, while Wilson was slow off the line and has lost out.
64/65 De La Rosa leads a full lap before Verstappen proves to be too fast and passes him into the first corner. Justin Wilson looks to be recovering as you can see in the background, he's passing Webber for 3rd. Further around the lap and M Schumacher passes Webber for 4th.
63/65 Webber is still travelling backwards as Barrichello in the Williams passes him for 5th. Kimi Raikkonen is having a torrid time down in 16th as he runs wide and loses a place
62/65 As we ride on board you can see M Schumacher easing past Wilson to take 3rd on the home straight, While Webber is now down to 6th after Juan Pablo Montoya takes 5th. Big accident on this lap as well, as Glock runs off wide. As he comes back on to track McNish collects him and ends his race. Fisichella and Trulli are also involved as they hit the debri on track. Both of them and Glock will all have to pit for new front wings
61/65 Wilson seems to be struggling slightly now as both Williams' of Barrichello and Montoya fly by him. Action towards the mid-field as Da Matta spins on the penultimate corner, it looks like he's beached it in the gravel, ending his race
60/65 M Schumacher puts Ferrari in the top 2 spots after passing De La Rosa for 2nd. Just behind them and the Williams' are dicing with eachother. Montoya comes out on top though and gains 4th
59/65 Montoya continues his charge and passes De La Rosa for 3rd
58/65 De La Rosa is once again powerless as Barrichello this time passes him to take 4th. Further back and Webber is now down to 7th after Sato in the BAR passes him
57/65 And Sato isn't stopping there as he moves past Wilson for 6th
56/65 A bit of team orders at Ferrari? M Schumacher moves down the inside of Verstappen and the Dutchman doesn't put up much of a fight. M Schumacher now leads the race. Webber makes a move in the right direction as he passes Wilson for 7th
55/65 Montoya splits up the Ferrari's now as he passes Verstappen for 2nd. The Columbian is looking fast today
54/65 And M Schumacher now has two Williams' behind him as Barrichello passes Verstappen for 3rd. Lotterer is having a cracking drive in the Jordan as he moves into a points position, but drops Wilson in the Arrows out of one at the same time.
52/65 Let's have a look at the top 12
50/65 We now have our 4th different leader of the race as Montoya overtakes M Schumacher. Can he keep the pace up??
49/65 The first stops begin for the race. It looks like everyone will be making 2 scheduled stops today
43/65 Sato passes De La Rosa for 9th, but both these drivers have already pitted
42/65 We ride on board with Montoya who has already pitted, M Schumacher is leaving the pits and he's infront of Montoya! Great pitstop by the Ferrari team to get MS out infront
39/65 Montoya is really struggling since that pitstop and his team mate Barrichello passes him for 3rd. Mark Webber became the 5th person to lead the race by the way before pitting on this lap
37/65 Lets have a look at the top 12 after those first stops. Oh no disaster for the Minardi team. De La Rosa has stopped out on track! What a shame for the team, De La Rosa really was getting the best out of that car. It seems as though he was having transmission problems
31/65 Coulthard has had a quiet day so far, but he makes a move on Villeneuve to take 9th
28/65 The race is really starting to quiet down now as drivers begin the 2nd stops of the day
19/65 M Schumacher pits from the lead
14/65 There's a good old battle going on for 4th place between Verstappen, Sato and Webber
13/65 Let's have a look at the top 12 after those stops and M Schumacher still has the lead!
10/65 Webber has been pilling on the pressure on Sato and it pays off as Sato makes a mistake allowing Webber past
7/65 More bad news for Sato as Coulthard passes for 6th
6/65 And we have a new leader as Barrichello outbrakes M Schumacher and takes the lead! Can he hold it till the end??
0/65 And he does as Barrichello continues Williams' succesful start to the season! Thanks for joining as we'll see you again soon
