2026 F1 Spanish Grand Prix - Madrid Friday Practice Results

Full results from Friday practice at the Spanish Grand Prix, Round 14 of the 2026 F1 world championship.

11 Sep 2026

George Russell led the way in first practice at the Spanish Grand Prix on the all-new Madring circuit.

Russell needs a strong weekend if he is to boost his flagging F1 world title hopes, and he began in perfect fashion as he came out on top over team-mate Kimi Antonelli in a Mercedes 1-2.

Ferrari followed with Charles Leclerc ahead of Lewis Hamilton, in a session that saw the latter accused of blocking on three occasions. However, highlighting the problem of traffic on the layout, Hamilton was also on the receiving end at least twice.

Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Arvid Lindblad, Oscar Piastri, Nico Hulkenberg and Liam Lawson completed the top 10.

It was another tough session for Williams and Cadillac, although the headline of the session was that the hour was completed without a red flag interuption.

The full results from free practice one can be found below.
