Harry Benjamin is joined by Marc Priestley and Andrew Benson to look back at qualifying from Barcelona. They hear from the top three drivers and discuss how the race could unfold.
Have it on in the background and we build up to the race.
Carlos Sainz, talking to Sky Sports, before his home race in Spain: "I'm feeling good!
"It's been a good weekend so far, I'm feeling really charged up today.
"With this crowd, it won't be impossible. I'm going to enjoy it as much as possible and try to get a good result."

Image source, Formula 1The two slow coaches in qualifying, Charles Leclerc and Logan Sargeant, will be starting their 66-lap adventure around the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya from the pit lane.
Pierre Gasly's two penalties means a couple of drivers get to shuffle up the order, with Lewis Hamilton putting his Mercedes onto the front row alongside Lando Norris and Nico Hulkenberg lifting the Haas up to seventh on the grid.
Sergio Perez and George Russell were the shock eliminations of Q2 and will both start outside the top 10. The Red Bull of Perez, who didn't score any points in Monaco last weekend, lines up P11, while Russell in the other Silver Arrow will be one place behind in P12.

Ferrari have taken the opportunity of Charles Leclerc’s pit-lane start to bank a new control electronics and energy store. They would normally bring a 15-place grid penalty, which is now rendered redundant.
Image source, Getty ImagesCharles Leclerc had an absolute stinker of a qualifying session in Barcelona yesterday and was due to line up 19th for today's Spanish Grand Prix.
The Monegasque driver complained about his upgraded Ferrari, saying the "balance was extremely difficult", pointing out issues with the left-hand side and adding overall, "it was a disaster."
The team said they were not to able to investigate the problems with Leclerc's SF-23 until Sunday morning due to parc ferme regulations.
Not a drop as big as Pierre Gasly's six places but Leclerc will now start from pit lane after Ferrari replaced the entire rear end of the car.
Image source, Getty ImagesPierre Gasly secured his best qualifying position of the season when he finished fourth fastest on Saturday but the Alpine driver had to go and see the stewards twice after the session for his part in the Q1 incidents with Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen.
The stewards decided Gasly was guilty of hindering both drivers and have dished out two three-place grid penalties, so his P4 now becomes 10th on the grid for today's 66-lap race.
“At the time I tried to do the best I could with the information I had,” Gasly said. “There obviously are rules, anything that happened wasn’t intentional and as I say I tried the best with the information I had.”
Good afternoon, folks. Lights out in Barcelona will be heading our way at 14:00 BST.
Max Verstappen leads the into Turn One today but behind the Red Bull and the Ferrari of Carlos Sainz, there is a bit of a mixed-up order that will hopefully provide us with some interesting results.

We left off yesterday on a cliffhanger, waiting to see what punishment would be handed out to Alpine's Pierre Gasly after the Frenchman was involved in two separate incidents of impeding other drivers - Sainz and Verstappen - on track...
Image source, Getty ImagesThe hopes of the home crowd rest on the shoulders of Carlos Sainz today after Fernando Alonso's disappointing qualifying session left him starting the Spanish Grand Prix in eighth place.
Can the Ferrari driver become the matador that takes down the dominate Red Bull of Max Verstappen at the front of the grid?
'Vamos!'
