This video can not be played Harry Benjamin & Olli Caldwell reflect on qualifying at the Spanish GP. Update: Date: 13:04 BST Title: Post Content: Hello! Welcome to our coverage of the Spanish Grand Prix. It is a McLaren front-row lockout today as Oscar Piastri starts on pole looking to secure his fifth win of the season and extend his lead at the top of the drivers' championship. But alongside him is team-mate Lando Norris, who perhaps could have taken pole himself but for appearing to push too much in the final stages of yesterday's qualifying. Lurking just behind is Max Verstappen, who hasn't quite put up the fight some might have anticipated this weekend, but maybe that will change today. Update: Date: 13:01 BST Title: Title battle intensifying? Content: It was an all-McLaren battle for pole position yesterday with Oscar Piastri beating Lando Norris to it.

F1 Spanish Grand Prix: Latest race updates as Piastri starts on pole
'Oscar drove very well. The pace is definitely there, just a couple of little mistakes. A good result for the team, a nice one-two and an interesting start for tomorrow [today]. It is a long run down to Turn 1, which is normally interesting and we have a lot of quick guys behind us, so we will not count them out. A good result today [yesterday], I am happy.' Mercedes' George Russell will start fourth, with the Ferrari of Lewis Hamilton fifth. Kimi Antonelli starts sixth and Charles Leclerc begins from seventh. One man who will not be racing today is the Aston Martin of Lance Stroll, due to pain in his hand and wrist that will need surgery. He suffered a wrist injury as a result of a bike accident in 2023 and his team have confirmed his absence for today. 'Over the course of the past six weeks Lance has been experiencing pain in his hand and wrist, which his medical consultant believes is in relation to the procedure he underwent in 2023,' Aston Martin said. 'As a result his medical team have confirmed that he will not race tomorrow and he will undergo a procedure to rectify these issues before focusing on his recovery.' Last year Norris started on pole but dropped to third after turn one as Russell swept around the outside to go from P3 to P1. Verstappen, who has four wins around this circuit including his maiden win in F1, started second but won the race, his fourth time around this circuit, and polesitter Norris came home to finish second. Who will be victorious in Spain today? The race begins at 2pm BST.
