F1 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix: Start time, weekend schedule, how to watch & TV channel

Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya has the tough task of following on from a chaotic F1 race in Monaco last weekend.

As the drivers and teams descend on Catalonia, Kimi Antonelli has a 66-point cushion atop the Formula 1 World Drivers' Championship standings, picking up another victory in Monaco to continue his sterling form this season.

From one end of the age spectrum to the other, Lewis Hamilton is Antonelli's closest rival at this stage following a strong showing in the principality.

Fellow Briton George Russell sits third, continuing to find new ways of dropping points to those around him, while four-time champion Max Verstappen will be looking to bounce back after failing to even start the race last time out.
