Mercedes Spanish Grand Prix winning streak - will it finally end?

If ever a race and a circuit have belonged to a team then it is the Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya and Mercedes.

The reigning F1 constructors' champions have dominated the event since the start of the turbo-hybrid era in 2014, winning seven of the last eight races at the venue.

On this occasion, however, Mercedes can only claim to be the third-best team as it goes into the race trailing behind Ferrari and Red Bull.
