Lewis Hamilton has been backed to take his first win with Ferrari on Sunday as he takes the start from the second row of the grid in Barcelona.
The seven-time champion will line up alongside former Mercedes team-mate George Russell, who is seeking to put an end to his own tough run of form.
Hamilton endured a challenging maiden campaign with Ferrari in 2025, but has had notably more positive results this year under the new technical regulations.
After qualifying, RacingNews365 asked F1 fans who they believe will come out on top on at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.
Hamilton emerged with the most votes, taking almost 43 per cent of the shares.
Pole-sitter Russell was next on the list as just over 21 per cent of fans believing it will be the Mercedes driver who comes out on top.
The second Mercedes of Kimi Antonelli, who is chasing a sixth consecutive victory from third on the grid, was third favourite with 19 per cent of votes.
