The Spanish Grand Prix started in 1913 and became part of Formula 1 in 1951. Over the years, it has been held at several tracks, including Pedralbes, Jarama, Montjuïc, and Jerez, before moving to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in 1991. Each of these circuits had unique challenges, from Montjuïc’s fast but dangerous street layout to Jarama’s tight and twisty corners.
The race has seen many iconic moments, such as Michael Schumacher’s dominant wet-weather victory in 1996 and Max Verstappen becoming the youngest F1 winner in 2016. While overtaking has often been difficult, recent track modifications aim to improve racing action. Today, the Spanish Grand Prix remains a key event on the F1 calendar, attracting fans from around the world.
