Formula 1 Spanish GP Qualifying: Live Updates and TV Schedule on Sky and TV8

With the last session of FP3 over, the drivers are now relaxing while awaiting Qualifying which will start at 4 pm. The fight for pole position can be followed live on both Sky (channels 201 and 207) and free-to-air TV8 .

Also in this session Carlos Sainz finished ahead of Charles Leclerc: fourth for the Spaniard, seventh for the Monegasque.

These are the times of the last free practice session, which actually lasted an hour, but about ten minutes because it then rained.

Weather could be a factor. And it will be essential to understand which tires will be used on a wet track, but without rain: intermediate or slick?

Hamilton left, but he’s the only big man to quit. The others are all on track in Barcelona.

Even Ferrari has decided to take to the track despite the rain, Sainz makes the Spanish fans happy.

The activity on the track has not restarted. Because the rain wet the track and nobody decided to go out. It rains and not a little. So everyone in the pits waiting or rather in the hope that there will be changes in terms of weather.

Once the track has been fixed after Sargeant’s accident, we’re back on track, even if the track is wet and the risk of rain is still considerable.

The Ferraris also place their lap. Carlos moves up to fourth place, behind the Red Bulls and Hamilton, but ahead of Fernando Alonso and Russell. Seventh Leclerc.

The rain is coming. Lightning and thunderbolts are seen in the distance. Verstappen precedes Perez by a whisker, then Hamilton and Russell. Waiting for Ferrari.

The weather is changing in Barcelona, ​​where there is a lot of wind and above all very threatening clouds have arrived. The rain can come already in FP3.

Practice 3 of the Spanish Grand Prix will start shortly, exactly at 12:30, and can be followed live on Sky TV only, on channels 201 and 207. Live streaming on Sky Go and NOW.

The final session of free practice 3 of the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona will start shortly. It starts at 12:30. One hour of practice before Qualifying, which will start in the afternoon.

Barcelona is a complete track, it is no coincidence that it is always said (numbers in hand) that whoever does well in Barcelona does well on every circuit. There is a long straight and a series of corners with different types of speeds. Aerodynamic efficiency is key. Starting this year, the final sector has been modified and it has returned to an old layout, the original one without the final chicane.

In the first free practice session, Verstappen was from another planet, as has often happened to him this year. Max preceded Perez and Ocon, who took a liking to stay in the first positions. Ferrari far away. Verstappen also flew in FP2, Alonso second, Hulkenberg third.

An enormously disappointing start to the season for Ferrari which brought a revolutionary package of updates to the bodywork to Barcelona, ​​with slimmer bellies and new shapes. Updates that have been tried by Sainz. We will see if they will be useful for gaining tenths on the lap.

In Barcelona in mid-afternoon today the Qualifying of the Spanish Grand Prix will take place. The start time is pre-set for 16. The fight for pole position, which sees Max Verstappen as the favorite, can be followed live on both Sky and free-to-air on TV8. Live streaming on Sky Go, NOW and tv8.it.
