What Time Is The 2025 F1 Spanish Grand Prix? Here's How To Watch
BARCELONA, SPAIN

Formula 1 heads to Barcelona for the final leg of the European triple header from May 30 to June 1.
Last weekend, under the glinting Riviera sun, McLaren delivered a masterclass in Monaco. Lando Norris stormed to his second win of the season, while Oscar Piastri clinched P3, enough to keep him at the top of the drivers' standings. It marked McLaren's sixth victory of the eight races so far this season.
Reigning champion, Max Verstappen, wrestled with an RB21 that looked difficult in the low-speed corners, ultimately finishing outside the podium. Still, he's lurking just 25 points behind Piastri in the standings.
For Mercedes, it was a weekend to forget. Kimi Antonelli crashed out in the first part of qualifying, while George Russell's car lost power in Q2. Strategy didn't offer any lifelines either with a sluggish call on the two-stop left both drivers stuck in traffic and out of points contention.
One of Formula 1's most contentious grey areas is back under the microscope in Barcelona — the flexi-wing. It's a technical loophole that's long danced on the edge of legality, but this time, it could trigger a proper reshuffle in the pecking order.
The flexible front wing, has become a focal point once again, especially as McLaren's form has surged in recent months. In Spain, new FIA rules will come into effect which tighten how flexible a wing can be.
Ferrari and Red Bull have been leading the call for tighter regulations, claiming the advantage of flexibility had become too decisive.
Barcelona is the ultimate benchmark. With its mix of fast, slow, and technical corners, it puts every aspect of a car to the test. Perform well here, and chances are you're competitive everywhere else.
It is expected to be hot all three days of the Grand Prix weekend. No rain is anticipated, providing optimal track conditions for teams and drivers.
Round nine of the season at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya kicks off with FP1 on Friday, May 30 at 1:30 pm local time (CET), followed by FP2 later at 5pm.
On Saturday, May 31, drivers will run through a final free practice session at 12:30 p.m. before they set a time for the final starting grid during qualifying at 4 p.m.
The 66-lap race will get underway at 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 1.

Italy Star Admits ‘I Cried' After Crazy Inter Milan 4-3 Barcelona Champions Legaue Win – Adds ‘I Remember What Guardiola Said' After Loss To Man City
Italy Star Admits 'I Cried' After Crazy Inter Milan 4-3 Barcelona Champions Legaue Win – Adds 'I Remember What Guardiola Said' After Loss To Man City Federico Dimarco admits that he 'cried' after Inter Milan beat Barcelona in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals. The Italian international spoke to The Athletic, via FCInterNews. He also recalled words from Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola declaring Inter could reach the final. Advertisement The Nerazzurri reached this point by eliminating Barcelona in the semifinals. It was the most daramatic of semifinal ties. The first leg ended in a 3-3 draw, while the second leg had the same scoreline after ninety minutes. Barcelona had looked to have completed a dramatic comeback from 2-0 on the night. But a late Francesco Acerbi equalizer set up extra time. Then, it was Davide Frattesi who scored the goal that sent Inter into the final. That capped off what was undoubtedly one of the most dramatic and thrilling Champions League tie in recent memory. Meanwhile, PSG reached the final by beating Arsenal. They overcame the Premier League side by a 3-1 scoreline on aggregate.

Superyachts, Superstars, And Supercars Shine At The Monaco Grand Prix
Watching Lando Norris win the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix from the top deck of a superyacht is the ... More ultimate flex Watching the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix from the top deck of a superyacht just hits different. Like way different. First off, being on the top deck of a superyacht is always, um, pretty great. A chef usually prepares trays hors d'oeuvres, and there's always a nice crew member to make sure you have enough ice in your drink. But, when your superyacht is mere feet from the Monaco streets that legends of Formula 1 have raced on since 1929, even the most jaded luxury traveler can get a bit giddy. Monaco's balconies become prized places to watch the Monaco Grand Prix in May And since the cars literally race around the harbor, and the city rises up from the harbor to form an amphitheater that's dotted with countless balconies filled with race fans, watching the race from a yacht puts you right in the center of the action. The parties never stop at the Monaco Grand Prix Now, for those of you that don't know, each Formula 1 Grand Prix is comprised of way more than just one race. There are practice days. And a day to qualify—that determines where the cars start on race day. There are days where sponsors get to take their VIP's out on the track for 'hot laps' in various high-performance sports cars. And all sorts of other race cars (Formula 2, Formula 3, Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup) that practice and race in the days leading up to race day Sunday too. MONTE-CARLO, MONACO - MAY 24: Albert II, Prince of Monaco with Christian Horner, Team Principal of ...

Parties. Lots and lots of parties. In fact, few events bring more of the world's largest and most recognizable superyachts together in one place than the Monaco Grand Prix. The large parties on many of the trackside yachts often go all day (and night) long. While the larger yachts that are anchored offshore shuttle their VIP's in and out to various events.

(Photo by) But that's just the yacht scene. Some lucky yacht guests and other VIPs get invited into pit lane. And that's on a whole other level of exclusivity. First off, not only are the mind-boggling, multi-million-dollar race cars are all right there—close enough to touch behind flimsy fabric barriers like you see in the customs line at the airport. The good-looking, multi-million-dollar race car drivers are all right there—close enough to touch—too. Of course, touching the cars or the drivers is strictly forbidden. But, you get the point. Charles Leclerc of Monaco and Scuderia Ferrari greets his fans before the third practice session ...

And the cool thing is they all seem to be as impressed by the cars and the drivers as mere mortal fans would be so close to Charles Leclerc's Ferrari Formula 1 race car, four-time world champion Max Verstappen and his Red Bull car, and the 18 others on the grid. MONTE-CARLO, MONACO - MAY 25: (L-R) Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos attend the F1 Grand Prix Of Monaco ... More on May 25, 2025 in Monte-Carlo, Monaco. (Photo by Marc Piasecki/WireImage) This is probably partly due to the raw nature of pit lane. It's not the red carpet or like any other 'normal' VIP area. It's loud. It's hot. It can be crowded and even a bit chaotic. And the truth is, on race day, the celebrities are just like everybody else—fans. MONTE-CARLO, MONACO - MAY 25: Kylian Mbappé attends the F1 Grand Prix Of Monaco on May 25, 2025 in ... More Monte-Carlo, Monaco. (Photo by Arnold Jerocki/FilmMagic) Of course, each team also has numerous hospitality areas for VIPs as well. Like the Red Bull Energy Station where the RB17 hypercar was on display. I'm told it was designed F1 legendary engineer Adrian Newey and Red Bull Advanced Technologies to be unlike any other hypercar on the track. The RB17 hypercar on display at the Red Bull Energy lounge at the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix It features a two-seater carbon fiber monocoque chassis with a semi-stressed mid mounted naturally aspirated V10 engine that red lines at 15,000 rpm. And power is transferred to the rear wheels via a carbon fiber gearbox. And since it weighs under 2,000 pounds, and has more than 1,200 HP, the RB17 is touted to be able to deliver F1-equivalent lap times and top speeds over 217 MPH, while remaining easy to own and operate. The RB17 is a hypercar unlike any other Oh yeah, it looks very, very fast. And don't you think the RB17 would look extremely cool on the foredeck of a superyacht at next year's Monaco Grand Prix? Yes, I do too. Stay tuned.

Barcelona superstar hits back at critics who questioned his level – ‘Not here as a gift from anyone'
Barcelona superstar hits back at critics who questioned his level – 'Not here as a gift from anyone' Barcelona are on a renewal spree to ensure that key figures stay bound to the club for the foreseeable future. And, Raphinha is among those to have given his commitment to the club for the long haul, signing a new contract until 2028. Advertisement The Brazilian star, after all, shone for Hansi Flick's side in the recently concluded season and ended the campaign as one of Europe's best-performing players. Raphinha is currently enjoying his vacation after the long season but will soon link up with the Brazilian national team to play under the orders of Carlo Ancelotti – the new manager of the Selecao. Raphinha's interview Speaking to Mundo Deportivo in a recent interview, Raphinha opened up on his season at Barcelona and how he was being linked with a departure from the club even just a year ago. He first began by dealing with the incessant rumours over his departure in recent transfer windows and how he has shut his haters this season. Advertisement 'Since I arrived, in every market there were rumours that I was leaving, that I was not good for this club. But I knew my ability,' he began. 'I'm not here as a gift from anyone. I'm here because of my work and what I did in other clubs and with the national team. Lack of level is not true,' he added. He then spoke out on how the criticism, to an extent, was understandable given the legacy of the club and how there is a fine margin between being a hero and a villain. 'But I'm at Barça, a big club, a demanding club, and if you don't give what people expect, it's normal to be criticized: that they say that it's better for you to leave, that you don't have the level to play with this shirt.' 'But I knew what I could give this club. I knew that if I worked and the results came, people would change their minds. And this is what has happened,' he added. Key player for Flick. (Photo by) Raphinha then went on to admit that he had interest from a lot of clubs in the Premier League and outside, insisting that it would not have been the case if he lacked quality. Advertisement 'Yes [I had offers]. This shows that it was not a lack of level. A player who has no level will not be looked for by the greats of the Premier League and other greats who were interested in me with very high offers.' On how he always wished to play only for Barcelona and how he did not have to break a sweat over his decision, the winger said: 'But I wanted to be here. Since I was little I followed Barça, I always watched them play. I remember Ronaldinho, Neymar, the history, the titles, the atmosphere, the fans.' 'I always wanted to be here and write my name in the history of the club. I had visited the city and the stadium before and it was my wish,' he added. Advertisement Finally, Raphinha joyfully spoke on the sensational season he enjoyed this time around and how it was just the beginning of great things to come following his renewal until 2028. 'Yes, it was my goal since I arrived: to be here for many years even more than I had in the old contract.' 'This was going through my head from the first moment I arrived. But I knew that to renew I had to perform and give my best version in every game and training,' the recently renewed star added.
