F1 Spanish GP live updates: Follow latest from FP1 and FP2 at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya today

It also tests them physically. After tight, difficult tracks for racing at Imola and Monaco the two previous weekends, this will feel like blessed relief for the drivers. Here are the key circuit facts: Circuit length: 4.657 km (2.894 miles) (2.894 miles) Laps: 66 Lap record: 1:16.330 (Max Verstappen, 2023) (Max Verstappen, 2023) First GP: 1991 You can take a trip around the improbable majesty of Monte Carlo with Madeline Coleman 's circuit breakdown, which is linked below.
