    WHAT’S SPECIAL?

    Carlos Sainz Jr. and Fernando Alonso have a special weekend because it is their home race. Carlos Sainz, in particular, has never raced in Barcelona in a race-winning car. This time, he’ll be driving a Ferrari that is now competing for the constructors title. As a result, he’ll be hoping to complete P1 in front of his home crowd.

    ABOUT THE TRACK

    Like I’ve mentioned earlier, this is a familiarized track for every f1 drivers. The circuit’s length is 2.905 miles (4.675 km). This race will cover a total distance of 191.645 miles (308.424 km).

    The current Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya layout includes 16 turns and two DRS zones. This Spanish Grand Prix 2022 will feature 66 laps of racing action. The track layout was changed in 2021, with turn 10 being redesigned. The most controversial part of the track will be the turn 14 and 15 where drivers might lose the speed when competing against other drivers. However, if they could clear that, then they reach one of the DRS zones – the best overtaking opportunity, the main straight followed by the turn 1.
