The start of the European season at last, the Spanish GP at the Circuit de Catalunya, or the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as it is now known.

Fans seem to be split over the Spanish GP earlier, seen some say it was dull and some say it was fantastic. Pit stops were another hot topic today with a massive 77 tyre changes, possibly the most of any dry race. Mercedes qualified 1-2 for the first time since 1955 but in the race faded away and finished sixth and 12th, not what they would have wanted.

At last, after a bit of a break F1 is back and for the first time this season the race is in Europe! The Spanish GP is at the Circuit de Catalunya for the 23rd time. The 4.655km circuit has 16 corners with a race distance of 307.230km after 66 laps.
