F1 Spanish Grand Prix 2011 live on the BBC
May 15, 2011 · 0 Comments
The Formula 1 heads to Spain from 20-22 May, for the fifth race of the 2011 season at the Circuit de Catalunya.
Australian driver Mark Webber took pole position at the race in 2010, with Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel just behind him, and McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton third. Qualifying is especially important in Barcelona, with the last ten races won by the driver who started first on the grid.
Last year saw Australia’s Mark Webber produce a flawless drive to claim victory in Barcelona ahead of home favourite Fernando Alonso. McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton will be hoping for a change of luck at the Circuit de Catalunya after a puncture last year – his best result here is second place during his debut season in 2007.
Jake Humphrey presents live coverage with Martin Brundle and David Coulthard in the commentary box. BBC F1 coverage of the Formula 1 – Spanish Grand Prix is simulcast in HD on BBC One HD on Freesat channel 108, Freeview channel 50, Sky channel 143 and Virgin Media channel 108.
