Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix
Most F1 drivers have already completed many hundreds of laps at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya due to their participation in the long winter tests. Therefore, the circuit holds few surprises for them, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. The track has many corners and few straight sections, meaning the race will be a sharp contest.

F1 Spanish Grand Prix 2025
The Montmelo circuit has long been the venue that team bosses, drivers, and fans eagerly anticipate. Two long straights and two DRS zones mean that drivers must show bravery in overtaking maneuvers in the corners. What makes it challenging is that every driver, regardless of team changes, can basically memorise the track even with their eyes closed.
After being placed in late June on the F1 calendar last year, the race has shifted to the last weekend of May in 2025. This will most likely bring about slightly cooler circumstances for the entire weekend than last year. But if rainfall remains out of sight temperatures may well rise to about 25 degrees nonetheless.
Spanish GP 2025 Date
The first press conferences are planned for Thursday May 29. FP1 and FP2 will take place one day later, on May 30. Saturday May 31 will feature one final practice session before Grand Prix qualifying, finally, on Sunday June 1st it is time for the Spanish Grand Prix.

Watching the Spanish GP on F1TV and Sky Sports
In 2025, Formula 1 will once again be broadcast in the UK by Sky Sports. All F1 sessions across the weekend will be available on their broadcasting channel, with live commentary by David Croft and ex-F1 driver Martin Brundle. Sky Sports will also provide pre- and post-race coverage of qualifying and the Grand Prix.
Another option to watch Formula 1 live is through F1TV Pro, the official streaming service of Formula 1. F1TV Pro broadcasts all the sessions from the Spanish GP live, and viewers have the ability to choose their preferred commentators as well.
Lewis Hamilton in the Spanish GP
Hamilton is tied with Michael Schumacher for most wins around the Circuit de Catalunya. The Brit even managed five in a row starting in 2017. It has not all been smooth sailing in the Catalan region, however, as in 2016, for example, Hamilton had a crash with Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg. This incident saw Max Verstappen become F1’s youngest ever race-winner in his Red Bull debut. Since the 2022 regulation changes, Hamilton and Mercedes struggled for pace quite a lot. Spain, however, remained a track at which the Brit displayed great performances taking a P5 and two podium finishes since the new era.
