Overview
- The GP de Barcelona-Cataluña was held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Montmeló as a 66-lap race on Sunday, June 14, 2026.
- George Russell took pole position in qualifying, with Lewis Hamilton qualifying second and both drivers starting on the front row.
- Kimi Antonelli arrived in Barcelona as the championship leader and will be a key figure in the title fight this weekend.
- Alpine’s Franco Colapinto qualified 13th and will start mid-pack, a result that leaves him needing strategy and overtakes to reach the points.
- Broadcast rights for the race varied by territory with DAZN F1 in Spain and a mix of ESPN, Disney+, F1 TV, Fox Sports, Sky and Apple TV carrying coverage elsewhere, while a separate report that the Spanish GP moved to Madrid’s 'Madring' from 2026 is contradicted by the contemporaneous race reporting at Montmeló.
