I dont know when it is but i am just reading htis about it-

Kimi Raikkonen is no bigger than 4/7 with Hills to win the Spanish Grand Prix after maintaining his dominance of the weekend in Saturday's final qualifying session at Barcelona.

Raikkonen secured pole position in his Ferrari in the dying seconds to pip the Renault of home favourite Fernando Alonso, who will start alongside the world champion.

Alonso is as short as 9/5 with the same firm but a more realistic 5/1 with Stan James and Bet Direct.

Felipe Massa, who won the last grand prix in Bahrain, will start directly behind his pole-sitting team-mate on the second row and is the 5/1 second favourite for the win, again with Sportingbet.

BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica lines up fourth on the grid and is 20/1 with Lewis Hamilton 12s from fifth on the grid.

Heikki Kovalainen, who will start sixth in the sister McLaren, is 40/1 with Sportingbet.

Aside from a meaningless Saturday practice session and a wobble in Q2, Raikkonen has been the class of the field throughout the weekend and should cruise to his second win of the season providing he gets a clean start.

Alonso is likely to be pumped up in front of his home crowd and his controversial tactics at the start of this race last season showed that the Spaniard will not hesitate to be aggressive should an opportunity present itself at the first corner.

But with a podium finish up for grabs the former champ is unlikely to risk compromising his race this time around.

Which should leave Raikkonen in clear air to cruise to a simple victory and to extend his championship lead.

Renault's executive director of engineering Pat Symonds confirmed that his lead driver was on a light fuel load in a television interview following the session.

"Well obviously there's some strategy involved," he admitted to ITV, and on being pressed further, conceded: "I don't think it'd be any secret to say that Fernando and Nelson [Piquet, who starts ninth] are not on the same strategy."

So Raikkonen's main threat, as in Malaysia and Bahrain, is likely to be his team-mate Felipe Massa.

Massa admitted that he failed to produce a clean lap when it mattered most, suggesting that his fuel load is not significantly greater than Raikkonen's.

And with Alonso and Massa separating Raikkonen from the on-form Robert Kubica, the Finn's task is very straightforward on Sunday afternoon.

We're not generally big fans of tipping at short odds but there is a strong case to suggest that Raikkonen should walk away with this race.

He has been the fastest man all weekend, is driving the fastest car and is on pole position at a circuit where the pole sitter has won in each of the last seven years.

Ease the boredom of the race by having a hefty bet on Kimi to walk away with the ten points.
