Kimi Raikkonen was the fourth pole-sitter of the season in Spain. A fifth different pole-sitter in the fifth race would equal a record, as in the history of Formula One this has only happened twice.
In 1958 the first five men on pole were: Juan Manuel Fangio (Maserati), Tony Brooks (Vanwall), Stuart Lewis-Evans (Vanwall), Dick Rathmann (Watson/Offenhauser at Indy) and Mike Hawthorn (Ferrari).
