What time are the sessions for the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona?
- Toby McLuskie
The Spanish Grand Prix week is here. Formula 1 drivers have little rest at the moment. The Monaco Grand Prix is barely over and the next race is on the programme. Sunday in Monaco, the luxury motorhomes were taken down and they are on their way to (the region of) Barcelona. There, the Spanish Grand Prix is scheduled for Sunday, the home race for Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz.
Red Bull Racing looking for seventh win in a row
Spanish fans are obviously hoping that their favourites Alonso and Sainz will compete for the podium and perhaps even victory at the Circuit de Catalunya. If so, they will probably have to deal with Max Verstappen and his Red Bull Racing. The Austrians are looking to take their seventh win in a row this season in Spain. No doubt Sergio Perez, who had a dramatic weekend in Monte Carlo, is just as keen to celebrate a win as he does not want to go further behind Verstappen in the championship standings.
Barcelona weather
At the moment, the weather in the Barcelona region is somewhat turbulent. For next weekend, showers seem to be approaching the circuit, especially on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. It is possible that, like in Monaco, we will see wet asphalt halfway through qualifying or the race.
