Kayleigh: Race winner: Max Verstappen, Other two drivers on the podium: Perez & Sainz, Surprise performance of the day: Schumacher, Driver who will leave Spain disappointed: Alonso, Happiest team boss: Fred Vasseur (only cause Horner is never really happy)
Jason Roberts: I've got a funny feeling George will make his way on to the podium today.

"It’s always difficult to tell but I couldn’t do my final run, either the DRS didn’t open or I just lost power," said the Dutchman straight after qualifying.
"It’s a bit of a shame but I think overall, to be on the front row for us here, looking at the whole weekend so far, I think it was a good achievement, but of course, I would have liked to go for that final run."

All six drivers from top three teams have two new sets of medium tyres and one hard for the race. Charles Leclerc is alone in having a new set of softs, after doing Q2 on used tyres. "I just wanted a new tyre to start the race. This is what I was thinking at that time," he said.

Leclerc's lap at the end of qualifying was tremendous. It was so much quicker than Q1 or Q2. Maybe it was the most impressive pole position lap of the season so far.

"It went extremely well. I had a bit of a moment but I made it stick. It was a very good lap and the car was amazing too, so very, very happy."
Ferrari's pole-sitter Charles Leclerc, asked about his hopes for the race: "Hopefully a good start, good tyre management and keep that first position. The overall package is very good. In qualifying it paid off, now we need to see with tyre degradation."

Is there more despair on the horizon for Verstappen?
It's all hands to the pump in the Red Bull garage as the mechanics frantically work on the rear wing of the Dutchman's car.
DRS problems again? We'll keep you posted...
Image source, Getty ImagesPhew!
It looked like pole was all but gone for championship leader Charles Leclerc when the Monegasque driver spun on his first lap of final qualifying.
With the clock ticking down and the chance of top spot fading, Leclerc found a peach of a lap in his Ferrari backpack and produced a 1:18.750.
Verstappen's misfortune obviously helped a little, too.
You could fry an egg on that track. It's sizzling. The Spanish fans are soaking up every ounce of Carlos Sainz as he fires some T-shirts from the big novelty gun into the crowd.
To yesterday's qualifying action now...

New power-unit for Fernando Alonso. It's his fourth of the year - one more than allowed - in only the sixth race so an automatic grid penalty. He starts his home race from the back.
It wasn't the best of days for Fernando Alonso at his home qualifying and it's now it's just got a little trickier.
The Spaniard, who was knocked out in Q1 in 17th place, will start at the back of the grid due to a power unit change.
Welcome back everyone. It's a veritable feast of sport on all fronts across BBC Sport, this fine Sunday in May.
We will be of course concentrating on how events in Barcelona unfold over the next couple of hours.
Lights out for the Spanish Grand Prix are at 14:00 BST.
Before we look back at that last-gasp qualifying session yesterday, a bit of news first...
Image source, Getty ImagesCharles Leclerc has a wounded bull by his side for today's Spanish Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen suffered a loss of power on his final lap in qualifying on Saturday to allow the Ferrari driver to recover from his mishap and grab a fourth pole position of the 2022 season - and 13th of his career.
Will Leclerc reign in Spain? Or can Verstappen make it three race victories on the bounce?
Only one way to find out...
