How to follow Spanish Grand Prix on the BBC

The Spanish Grand Prix starts at 14:00 BST on Sunday, 23 June

Round 10 of the 2024 Formula 1 season heads to Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for the Spanish Grand Prix from 21-23 June.

Last time out in Canada, Red Bull's Max Verstappen won a gripping wet-dry race in Montreal to move 56 points clear in the drivers' championship.

McLaren's Lando Norris was second and Mercedes' George Russell, who started in pole position, was third.

F1 tyre supplier Pirelli has selected the hardest compounds in the range for Sunday's 66-lap race.

Teams can choose between the C1 (white, hard), C2 (yellow, medium) and C4 (red, soft) tyres.

What is the weather forecast for the Spanish GP?

The Canadian Grand Prix was hit by rain and mixed conditions, and there is potential for Sunday's race to be affected by the wet stuff, too.

Warm, Sunny conditions are predicted on Friday and Saturday but rain is forecast on Sunday morning and early afternoon. It is expected to stop by the time the race starts but the track could be slippery when the lights go out.

What is the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya like?

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was built as part of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics development programme

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was once the home to F1 pre-season testing before Bahrain took over in 2021, so this is a track with which teams are very familiar.

Designed by German architect Hermann Tilke, the circuit consists of 16 high-and low-speed corners, two DRS zones and a long main straight which offers drivers the best chance of an overtake.

Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton won five consecutive Spanish Grands Prix from 2017 to 2021. The past two races have seen Max Verstappen and Red Bull secure victory, with the Dutchman winning last year from pole position.

This is due to be the penultimate time Barcelona hosts the Spanish Grand Prix with Madrid taking over at a new circuit from 2026.
