| Circuit Details |
The Spanish Grand Prix has had a rather nomadic existence during its lifetime, taking in Pedralbes and Montjuich Park in Barcelona, Madrid?s Jarama and Jerez. However, the race has settled down at the Circuit de Catalunya near Barcelona since 1991.
The first race at the circuit was is best remembered for a stunning 200mph game of chicken down the start-finish straight involving Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell. But perhaps the most stunning drive at Barcelona came in the 1996 race when Michael Schumacher won by nearly a lap in appalling conditions.
Barcelona is the most popular venue for testing throughout the winter months so all the drivers know the track better than any other circuit on the calendar. The race has been given an added twist in recent years by the emergence of Fernando Alonso, who became Spain?s first grand prix winner in 2003.
