Liuzzi's teammate Robert Doornbos struggled with the handling of his car, however, and fell down the order, ultimately retiring three laps before the end of the race. On lap eighteen, Yannick Schroeder collided with Tomáš Enge, with both drivers retiring from the race.2004-05-11 Victory for Liuzzi at Barcelona https://au.motorsport.com/f3000/news/victory-for-liuzzi-at-barcelona/1133575/ 2025-08-02 au.motorsport.com en A four-way battle for third place ensued after the mandatory pitstops. Jeffrey van Hooydonk led the group, with the faster Alan van der Merwe behind him, followed by Raffaele Giammaria and Patrick Friesacher. Giammaria passed van der Merwe for fourth, but lost the position a few laps later. Van der Merwe then made a move on van Hooydonk for third, but the two collided, leaving van Hooydonk stranded in the gravel. Van der Merwe had to change his front wing and therefore fell out of the points positions too, giving third place to Giammaria. Liuzzi took his second consecutive win, giving him a lead of four points in the championship, with Toccacelo and Giammaria joining him on the podium. Classification Qualifying Pos.
