Jenson Button wins Spanish Grand Prix as this is his fourth victory of this season. Despite he has been passed by Barrichello at the start, Brawn changed him to a two stop strategy while Rubens was on a three stop. Barrichello finished second ahead of Webber who has made best use of softer tyre in his second long stint. He is followed by team mate Vettel. Vettel’s race passed at the rear of Massa thanks to a good start with use of KERS.

Due to a fuel rig problem at Mass’s last pit stop, Massa was forced to conserve fuel and drop two places during the closing laps. Alonso passed Massa at last lap while he was 16 seconds behind him until Massa started to slow down. Alonso finished fifth. Massa finished sixth just 1.6 seconds in front of Heidfeld. The last point scorer was Rosberg who finished eight.

The race started with a collision between four cars at turn two which caused Truli, both Torro Rosso drivers and Sutil to retire and safety car to deploy. Kovalainen retired with a gearbox problem at lap 7 and Raikkonen retired with a possible hydraulic problem at lap 17. Last year’s world champion Hamilton finished 9th just out of the points.
