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 Grand ꦏPrix.

🀅Usually held in May, F1 heads to Spai💙n after back-to-back races at Silverstone.

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

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

Sergio Perez - on his return - starts fourth ahead o🃏f Lance Stroll and Alexander Albon.

Last time out

Pirꦿelli’s decision to bring softer tyres to the second race at Silverstone proved to be a critical one with&nbs꧒p;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, blistering i🔥ts 🐻rear tyres quickly allowing the Red Bull driver to take his first victory of 2020. 

The result means Lewis Hamilton has a 30-point lead over Verstappen going into Spa💙in, with Bottas a further four points back.

Charles Leclerc continued his strong run of🐻 form, finishing fourth at the 70th Anniversary GP.

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

Esteban Ocon, Lando Norris and Daniil Kvyat completed the points-payinཧg positions.

What to expect from this weekend?

Mercedes will once again be the team to beat in qualifying but warmer track temperatures may allow Red Bull to close the gap over a race distanc💞e.

Pirelli has nominated the C1, C2 and C3 tyres for this weekend - the hardes💦t three compounds it can bring to a grand prix.

No rain is expected this weekend.
