Spain news wrap-up

AUTOSPORT brings you a Monday morning summary of the biggest headlines from throughout the Formula 1 weekend

With the diffuser controversy and lying scandal resolved, it was the FIA's budget cap plan - and particularly its two-tier aspect - that monopolised the headlines at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Toyota became the first team to declare that it could not enter the 2010 world championship under current conditions, with the FIA and FOTA set for talks before Monaco in a bid to resolve a deadlock with potentially huge implication for Formula 1.

Back on track, it was business as usual for Brawn and Jenson Button, as last year's benchmark teams found that they still had some way to go to catch the white cars even with the swathe of upgrades introduced for the start of the European season.

Button tops first practice in Spain

Williams duo lead second practice

Ferrari takes one-two in final practice
