Formula 1 returns to Catalunya for the third round of the 2021 World Championship this weekend - and we begin our coverage with Friday's first practice session.
After Lewis Hamilton's impressive 97th career win in Portimao, Max Verstappen and Red Bull will be looking to strike back in style this weekend. The Dutchman famously took his maiden F1 win at Catalunya back in 2016, but can he repeat that feat this time around under sustained pressure from a seven-time world champion?
Two practice sessions, each an hour-long, will be held on Friday, and you can keep up to speed with everything that happens on track right here on the RacingNews365 liveblog.
Live timing automatically refreshes so you are always up to date, and we will also provide you with the latest news and all the developments straight from Spain. Just choose between the Live Timing and Live Blog below.
