Welcome to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, located just outside the vibrant city of Barcelona, the venue for the Spanish Grand Prix.
This circuit's variety of corner types, straight lengths, and elevation changes make it a comprehensive test of a car's aerodynamic efficiency and mechanical grip.
It has been an everpresent venue on the Formula 1 calendar since 1991, with racing and testing heading to the track for over three decades, meaning teams and drivers know it inside out.
Circuit Overview:
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is a 14-turn, 4.657 km (2.894 miles) example of almost everything an F1 driver will encounter on the calendar.
Sector 1 begins with heavy braking into Turn 1, and the sweeping uphill Turn 3 concludes with the endless Repsol right-hander as Sector 2 begins.
Undulations, twists, and a blast of DRS into a possible overtaking spot at Turn 10, La Caixa, makes up the second sector, and it all finishes with high-speed right-hand corners in Sector 3 to shoot the car out onto the long pit straight.

Tough one to end the triple-header, but we'll go again in Montreal...

PIT to CARLOS
Bearman has a 10-second penalty, so that's P14. That was not the race you wanted, compromised from Lap 1. After, on the Medium and Softs, great management on the tyres. Good overtaking, but not where we wanted to be.
