Formula 1 2021 Spanish Grand Prix - F1 Aramco Gran Premio De España 2021

Formula 1 2021 Spanish Grand Prix - F1 Aramco Gran Premio De España 2021 Catalunya When was the track built? The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was built as part of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics development programme. The foundation stone was laid in 1989, while the first car race was a round of the 1991 Spanish Touring Car Championship. When was its first Grand Prix? Two weeks after the touring cars raced at Barcelona, it was Formula 1’s turn. The track enjoyed a sensational debut, with Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna’s famous eyeball-to-eyeball drag race down the straight, before Mansell took the lead and drove on to victory. What’s the circuit like? The drivers love the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, which is just as well, because they spend huge amounts of time pounding around it during winter testing. The track is a good mix of high- and low-speed corners, with the challenging Turn 3 right-hander a great chance to evaluate the balance of the car your team’s designers have given you to fight with for the season. NEWS Yuki Tsunoda has taken to Twitter to apologise for his comments after appearing to question whether he and AlphaTauri team mate Pierre Gasly receive the same equipment, in the wake of his early exit from qualifying in Spain. It wasn’t really in any doubt – but Lewis Hamilton nonetheless confirmed his position as one of Formula 1’s greatest ever qualifiers with his 100th pole position at the Spanish Grand Prix, with the achievement drawing fulsome praise from his team boss Toto Wolff, who called it proof that Hamilton was “clearly the outstanding driver” competing in Formula 1 currently. While Max Verstappen took P2 on the grid for Red Bull in Spanish Grand Prix qualifying, team mate Sergio Perez could only muster up P8 – and the Mexican later revealed he was nursing a shoulder issue throughout the session.
