Overview
- The Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix runs 12–14 June with the race on Sunday 14 June starting at 15:00 CEST (14:00 BST) and the weekend following the traditional three-practice, Saturday qualifying format.
- Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli has won five straight races and leads the drivers' standings by roughly 66 points, making him the clear favourite heading into Barcelona.
- Broadcasters have confirmed live coverage: Sky Sports F1 will show every session in the UK with free highlights on Channel 4, BBC will provide radio commentary plus post-race video, and Apple TV will carry live coverage in the United States.
- The event has been renamed the Barcelona‑Catalunya Grand Prix because the official Spanish Grand Prix moved to Madrid's new Madring circuit this season, and Barcelona will alternate with Spa‑Francorchamps on the calendar from 2027 through 2032.
- Circuit de Barcelona‑Catalunya rewards aerodynamic performance with long straights and varied corner speeds so teams often bring upgrades here, and early forecasts predict a hot, dry weekend with temperatures in the mid‑to‑high 20s Celsius.
