This article will take you through where you can watch & stream the Spanish Grand Prix in 2023! This is the start of a double-header around the Mediterranean.
We've taken you through how to watch and stream the Bahrain, Saudi, Australian, Azerbaijan, Miami and Monaco rounds of the season and today we're looking forward to the Spanish Grand Prix.
We'll be tuning in for practice, qualifying and the race for the seventh round of the 2023 season. Which channels will it be on though, and at what times? We've got all the TV and streaming information right here!
Where to watch & stream Spanish Grand Prix 2023
The Spanish Grand Prix is a staple of the Formula 1 calendar, having been a part of the roster every season since 1986. The Circuit de Catalunya has hosted the Spanish GP since 1991 and is also a popular testing venue.
Catalunya is a controversial circuit amongst F1 fans, but the removal of the final sector's chicane for 2023 could make for more overtaking than we've seen in previous Grands Prix here.
Spain is in the Central European Time Zone, so we can expect the session times to be similar to most European Grands Prix.
When it comes to the most successful drivers in Spain, some familiar names are at the top of the leaderboard. Both Michael Schumacher and Sir Lewis Hamilton have amassed six victories each here.
Sir Jackie Stewart, Alain Prost, Mika Hakkinen and Nigel Mansell are all a long way back with three wins apiece. On the current grid, Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso are the only other multiple winners with two each.
With the form he's in so far this season though, you'd be a brave person to bet against Verstappen this weekend. The Flying Dutchman got his first F1 win here back in 2016 and won last year's race.
But where can you watch & stream the Spanish Grand Prix? Let's find out!
