SpainFormula 1 Spanish Grand Prix
The Spanish Grand Prix is one of the favourites on the 2024 Formula 1 calendar. Most of the drivers know the track in Catalonia like the back of their hands because of the amount of testing that used to take place in Barcelona. However, F1 didn't complete winter testing in Spain in 2024 so this will be the first time the 2024 cars visit this track. The circuit has many corners and few straights and is more popular as a MotoGP circuit.

The Spanish Grand Prix 2024
For years, team bosses, drivers, and fans have eagerly awaited the circuit in Montmelo. A race lap only lasts around 1:18 (the lap record set by Max Verstappen in 2021), making it exciting for 66 laps. Two straights and only two (fixed) DRS zones mean that drivers must also show guts in the corners by making an overtake there.
