The 2024 Spanish GP is touted to be one of the most anticipated races in recent years, given the run of results in the last couple of races. In the previous years, the race at the Circuit de Catalunya had not been the most exciting, given the dominance of Red Bull since the beginning of the ground effect regulations in the 2022 season.
However, the 2024 edition looks finely poised, as any of the top four teams, Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes could find themselves as a potential candidate for victory in Barcelona this upcoming weekend.
The last race in Canada might have been another win in Max Verstappen's column, but any of the McLaren's Lando Norris and Mercedes's George Russell could have won, given each led the race at some point in time.
Similar to previous race weekends, several teams would be bringing upgrades to the Spanish GP for further improvements to extract better performance from their 2024 challengers.
