F1 practice today: What time is Spanish Grand Prix and how can I watch?
The 2022 F1 season returns for the sixth race of the campaign this weekend as the paddock travels to Spain to take on the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Charles Leclerc still has a healthy lead in the drivers’ standings as his consistent start continues to bare fruit.
But Max Verstappen has won the last two races in Italy and the USA, so he has the momentum heading into this one.
