The 2022 Spanish Grand Prix takes place this weekend with F1 teams and drivers heading to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
The 2022 F1 season continues this weekend, with the sixth round of racing taking place at one of the most iconic circuits. Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya has been in the F1 calendar since 1968, and has provided fans with several memorable moments over the years.
Last year’s installment saw a fantastic battle of strategies between the Mercedes and Red Bull teams. It ultimately ended in the former’s favor, after an extra pit-stop helped Lewis Hamilton overtake Max Verstappen in the closing stages of the race.
This year, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc goes into the race as Championship leader ahead of Verstappen in P2. The gap between them is of 19 points, and could very well change in the Dutchman’s favor this weekend.
It promises to be an enthralling weekend of F1 action, but where can fans catch the live action?
