F1 Practice Timetable: Spanish Grand Prix 2024 start times, schedule and TV

The Spanish Grand Prix kicks off today (Friday, June 21), and these are all the details you need to keep up with the practice sessions, including start times.

After finishing a disappointing sixth in a race that saw Charles Leclerc finally claim a long-awaited victory in front of his home crowd in Monaco, Red Bull's Max Verstappen was able to snatch a victory from the jaws of pole-sitter George Russell in Canada, after both drivers shared the exact lap time of 1:12.000 seconds in the final qualifying run (Q3).

The Dutchman delivered a masterful performance to secure his 60th career win and extend his grip on the championship lead with 194 points after nine rounds.

Now heading into the 10th round of the 2024 season in Spain, the energy drink giants aim to widen their gap at the top of both championships. Meanwhile, their closest rivals, Ferrari, are hungry to bounce back after a disastrous Canadian GP where both Leclerc and his team-mate Carlos Sainz retired from the race.
