The end of Formula 1’s second triple-header sees it head to the Circuit de Barcelona🅰-Catalunya, which plays host to this weekend’s Spanish Gꦬrand Prix.

Usually held in May, F1ꦍ heads to Spain after back-to-back races at Silverstone.

Heading to Spaiඣn in the middle of the summer means temperatures will be a lot warmer than usual, especially compared to winter testing here back in February.

Lewis Hamilton stormed to a 92nd career pole position, beating Valtteri Bottas and Max Verstappen🗹.

Sergio Perez - o𓆉n his return - starts fourth ahead of Lance Stroll and Alexander Albon.

Last time out

Pirelli’s decision to bring softer tyres to the second 💫race a🔯t Silverstone proved to be a critical one with Max Verstappen storming to a shock victory.

Despite securing a 1-2 in qualifying yet again, Mercedes was unable to maintain its advantage into the race, blisteඣring its rear tyres quickly allowing the Red Bull dr🐽iver to take his first victory of 2020. 

The result means Lewis Hamilton has a 30-point lead over Verstappen going into Spain, wi♊th Bott🍸as a further four points back.

Charles Leclerc&nbs🎶p;continued his strong run of form, finishing fourth at the 70th Anniꦗversary GP.

Alexander Albon recovered from ninth on the grid to finish fifth, beating the two Racing Points of Lance 🐬Stroll and Nico Hulkenberg.

Esteban Oc♛on, Lando Norris and Daniil Kvyat&nb൲sp;completed the points-paying positions.

What to expect from this weekend?

Mercede♏s will once again be the te𒈔am to beat in qualifying but warmer track temperatures may allow Red Bull to close the gap over a race distance.

Pirelli has nominated the C1, C2 and C3 tyres for this weekend - the hardest three ༺compounds it c𒅌an bring to a grand prix.

No rain is expected this weekend.
