F1 Race Today: Barcelona Grand Prix 2026 start time, schedule, TV channel and FREE live stream

The Barcelona Grand Prix is here as George Russell looks to convert his pole position into a win and Lewis Hamilton bids to end a long drought, and we have all you need to know about how to watch the big race live.

Kimi Antonelli made it five race wins in a row in Monaco last time out, extending his lead at the top of the standings. Mercedes team-mate Russell failed to pick up a single point and as a result has dropped to P3 in the standings.

Seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton now sits P2 in the drivers' championship meaning this weekend's race in Barcelona could be crucial for both Hamilton and Russell to make a statement.

Will Antonelli be able to pick up a sixth consecutive grand prix victory or will Russell make the most of the opportunity to close the ever-growing gap to his teenage team-mate?
