Formula 1 heads to Barcelona this weekend (June 12-14) for the first of two races in Spain this season, the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.
Mercedes youngster Kimi Antonelli arrives in the Spanish city with his eyes set on securing a sixth consecutive win, having claimed a dominant victory last weekend in Monte Carlo to become the youngest winner in the history of the Monaco Grand Prix.
With five wins out of six races under his belt, the 19-year-old Italian leads the world championship by 66 points over second-place Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari, who climbed from fourth in the standings after securing a P2 finish in the Principality.
