Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli arrives in Barcelona fresh from a fifth consecutive win in Monaco, extending his lead in the Drivers’ Championship to 66 points. Last year’s race was highlighted by an Oscar Piastri‑Lando Norris McLaren 1‑2, and the circuit, a staple on the calendar since 1991, will host its 36th Grand Prix under the new Barcelona‑Catalunya name. Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton share the record for most victories at the venue, each with six wins.
Fans can stream every session live on F1 TV Pro or the premium 4K‑enabled F1 TV Premium service, both available on major streaming devices and without ad breaks. Live timing and commentary in six languages are also provided via the official F1 website and app. Forecasts call for clear skies and highs around 27 °C throughout the weekend.
