The Spanish Grand Prix weekend is upon us as the circus arrives at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, which will round out the second triple-header of the 2025 Formula 1 season.
Heading into the weekend, the home favourites are two-time champion Fernando Alonso and fellow Spaniard Carlos Sainz. The former has recently been confirmed to have taken up a new role as ambassador for the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Following the Monaco Grand Prix last week, just three points separate championship leader Oscar Piastri and his McLaren team-mate Lando Norris who sits in second. In the constructors’ standings, there is now only one point separating Red Bull and Ferrari in third and fourth, respectively.
