Formula 1 qualifying takes centre stage at the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix today (Saturday, June 22), with the teams battling for grid positions for Sunday's showdown in Barcelona.
After winning the last race in Canada, Max Verstappen extended his championship total to 194 points, putting him 56 points ahead of Charles Leclerc, who secured an emotional, long-awaited win in front of his home crowd in Monaco.
This victory also widened Red Bull's lead in the constructors' championship, with the team now 49 points ahead of Ferrari.
Now as the F1 heads to Barcelona for the penultimate time before Madrid takes over in 2026, all eyes will be on whether Verstappen will further extend his lead, or if we will see another surprise winner following the victories of Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, and Leclerc in Australia, Miami, and Monaco respectively.
