The end of Formula 1’s second triple-header sees it head to the Circuit de Barꦬcelona-Catalunya, which plays host to this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix.

Usually held in May, F1 heads to Spain af❀ter back-to-back races at Silverstone.

Heading to Spain in the middle of the summer means temperatures will be a lot warmer than usual, especially compared to winter testing here back in Februar🌸y.

Sergio Perez returns to Racing Point having been ruled out of the previous Br𝓰itish and 70th Anniversary Grands Prix after testing positive for COVID-19.

Last time out

Pirelli’s decision to bring softer tyres to the second race at Silverstone proved to be a critical one with Max Verstꦍappen&nbs♊p;storming to a shock victory.

Despite securing a 1-2 in qualifying yet again, Mercedes was unable to maintain its advantage into the race, blistering its rear tyres q🙈uickly allowing the Red Bull driver to take his first victory of 2020. 

The result means Lewis 🔯Hamilton has a 30-point lead over Verstappen going into Spain, with Bottas a further fou🐻r points back.

Charles Leclerc continued his strong ♚run of form, finishing fourth at t꧙he 70th Anniversary GP.

Alexander Albon recovered from ninth on the grid to finish fifth, beating the two Racing Points of Lance Stroll&▨nbsp;and Nico Hꦛulkenberg.

Esteban Ocon, Lando Norris&nꦕbsp;and Daniil Kvyat completed the points-paying positions.

What to expect from this weekend?

Mercedes will once again be the team to beat in qualifying but warmer track temperatures may allow Red Bull to close the gap over a race distanc🍎🔥e.

Pirelli has nominate🍎d the C1, C2 and C3 tyres for this w🌺eekend - the hardest three compounds it can bring to a grand prix.

No rain is expected this weekend.
