The Formula One circus has descended on Barcelona, where the first two free practice sessions are scheduled for Friday afternoon. But what does the schedule for Saturday look like?

What time does qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix start?

The weekend before the Spanish Grand Prix has already started with a riot. On Thursday, the first photos of the revamped Aston Martin AMR22, which looks more like a green version of the RB18, surfaced.

There will still be plenty to say about that, but in the meantime, everyone is preparing for the first practice sessions of the weekend. The first free practice session will include Nyck de Vries in action, who was referred to Williams by Mercedes. Red Bull junior driver Juri Vips is also in attendance, driving in place of Sergio Perez.

The weekend starts with FP1, for which the light switches to green at 13:00. The second free practice will be held later in the afternoon and starts at 16:00. On Saturday FP3 follows at 12:00, with a relatively late qualifying session at 15:00.
