F1 Spanish Grand Prix: Race start time UK, qualifying results and how can I watch on TV today?

Formula One heads to Barcelona this weekend for a Spanish Grand Prix which promises to continue an enthralling 2022 season.

Max Verstappen held off a late charge from Charles Leclerc to win in Miami a fortnight ago and ensure that the Ferrari driver’s championship lead remains within touching distance.

Leclerc has enjoyed a brilliant weekend thus far, topping all the charts in practice and taking pole on Saturday after a dramatic late comeback.

While F1 enjoyed the glitz and the glamour of a new location last time out, a trip to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya represents a return to one of the sport’s traditional homes.

The locals will be out in force supporting Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso - the veteran potentially for the last time - with both drivers victims of unforced errors in recent races.

This may be the second European race of the season but it is the first major chance for teams to bring significant upgrades to their cars this season.

As such, Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes will once again be subject to much interest in their battle to revive an ailing campaign.

Here are all the details ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix...
