This is how to watch the Formula 1 2026 Spanish Grand Prix, which takes place from 11-13 September at the Madring.

The Spanish Grand Prix ends a double-header event with Monza, before a relentless run of nine races in 11 weekends brings the 2026 F1 season to a close.

Carlos Sainz and Fernando Alonso will be keen to impress in front of their home crowd, but with both Williams and Aston Martin struggling massively this term, any hope of points will likely hang on the weekend producing a chaotic race.

This might not be an unlikely outcome, however, with a recent two-day F3 test producing 19 red flag interruptions.

Kimi Antonelli arrived in Madrid with a 66-point lead in the championship and looks in a strong position to extend this margin, with Mercedes team-mate George Russell set to start from seventh place, while the Italian is second.

Lando Norris is on pole position for the third time this season, while Max Verstappen again delivered beyond the capability of his Red Bull to secure third place.
