(GMM) It rained early Sunday morning, putting an extra spin on final qualifying for the San Marino grand prix.
Christijan Albers came off second best at Variante Alta -- he spun and hit the barrier.
''The track was damp in some places,'' said Williams' Nick Heidfeld, who dropped a spot to BAR's Takuma Sato.
All eyes are now on the afternoon sky.
''Our forecast says no more rain,'' Toyota's Mike Gascoyne revealed, ''but we'll see.''
Kimi Raikkonen snatched a dominant pole from fellow front row sitter Fernando Alonso, moving the latter to wonder if McLaren might three-stop.
''I hope the quite big gap between us is down to (that),'' the championship leader remarked.
Raikkonen said: ''We're only halfway there, but our strategy should be strong.''
