Spanish GP Saturday 1st Practice
 
The opening Saturday practice for the Spanish Grand Prix appeared to give the BMW WilliamsF1 team little confidence that they will be able to do well come the race on Sunday.

Ralf Schumacher could only make it into the top-ten, but he was nearly a second behind the fastest driver McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen's time.

For Juan Pablo Montoya his session would come to an end when he put a wheel on the grass entering turn six, spinning off and into the gravel. Despite this Juan Pablo would end up two places ahead of his team-mare in eighth.
