Everything you need to know ahead of Sunday's running at the 2026 Formula 1 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, including weather forecast and TV times

George Russell has given himself a chance to hit back in the 2026 Formula 1 title fight after taking pole for Sunday’s Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix. He ended Kimi Antonelli’s five-race pole streak, with Lewis Hamilton splitting the Mercedes drivers on the front row.

Sunday is expected to be hot and dry, with temperatures around 27°C, so tyre life could be a major factor after a difficult practice and qualifying day for several teams. Antonelli starts third as he chases a sixth straight win, while Russell has his best chance yet to cut into the championship gap.
