With almost the first six races of the 2020 FIA Formula One World Championship in the book, we return to familiar ground this weekend as the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya plays host to the Spanish Grand Prix. The track has a good mix of high and low speed corners and is a circuit very familiar to both Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc, who have spent huge amounts of time pounding around it during winter testing.
Circuit de Catalunya is 4.655km long and made up of 16 turns. The track has a few different configurations as it also hosts Moto GP, but there hasn’t been much change to the F1 layout since last year. The only changes are minor alterations to the kerbs, extending the kerb on the entry to turn nine and shortening it at the exit of turn 14.
The drivers will have two DRS zones to make the most of during Sunday’s race. The first comes halfway round the lap, with the detection point just before turn 9, while the second comes after the final corner on the circuit.
Follow us for the latest updates and results from the Circuit de Catalunya, as the first practice session for the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix is about to get underway, with Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc at the wheel of the SF1000, ready to evaluate the ideal set-up ahead of the qualifying session and the race on Sunday.
