Jarno Trulli may have taken the overnight pole position for the Sp൩anish Grand Prix in Barcelona, but both Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen claim that slight errors cost them a shot at top spot.

Alonso, the overwhelming crowd favourite having t💙🌞aken three wins in a row heading into the Spanish event, was left to rue a minor error in the final sector - possibly down to the gusty wind that blew up during the session - as he dropped 0.016secs behind the Toyota.

"It was a special qualifying session for me, to be competing in front of all the fans and see their support around the lap today, but I made a couple of small ꦡmistakes on my timed lap," the Spaniard admitted, "There was a little more grip out there than I had expected, so I am encouraged because the car has the potential to be faster. We are set up well for second qualifying - ꧋and the race - and I will be able to attack even more."

Raikkonen's mistake🐎 came early in his lap, and proved enough to push the McLaren man 0.024secs off the pace.

"It was a pretty good result considering that we started quite early i🐼n the session, but I'm ups🍒et that I made a mistake by going wide at turn two," the Finn lamented, "I lost probably around half a second - without that, we would have been quickest.

"However, it's toཧmorrow where it really counts and I can't wait. The car has been working well and we have the pace so, with a strong🧸 lap, we should be in with a chance of a good starting position."
