After the premiere of Formula 1 in Miami , the Great Circus moves to Europe, where it will celebrate the sixth round of 2022 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya , which will experience a complete party thanks to the two local drivers, Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso . The ‘no tickets’ sign has been hung, and the stands will be filled with Ferrari red and Alpine blue , something that will undoubtedly transport many back in time to a golden era for Spain in Formula 1.
The Madrid native has many chances to finish in the front positions thanks to the performance of his F1-75, although he must first overcome the two leaders of the championship, Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen, who arrive in Spain separated by only 19 points. The two-time world champion, for his part, is looking to add more points and put the bad start to the year behind him due to various problems that were out of his control.

On Friday we will have, in addition to the official FIA press conference for the drivers, the two free practices, which will be followed on Saturday with the press conference for the team managers, the third test session and qualifying, while Sunday will be reserved for the race.

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, venue for the Spanish F1 GP race
The Catalan track has become a classic of the Formula 1 World Championship, and since the 1991 season it has hosted a round of the championship uninterruptedly. Nigel Mansell was the first winner, although it is Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton who have climbed to the top the most times, a total of six times.
Historical moments have been experienced here, such as the duel between Mansell himself and Ayrton Senna in parallel in the middle of the finish line in 1991, Schumacher’s first victory with Ferrari under the deluge in 1996 or the triumphs of Fernando Alonso, first in 2006 with Renault and then in 2013 with Ferrari in what is still his last time as a winner in Formula 1.
