Here's everything you need to know about today's F1 race in Barcelona

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?

Here's how you can watch the 66-lap race in your region.

Having graduated from the University of Sheffield with a 2:1 in Journalism in 2022, Kerry continued her pursuit of finding a full-time position in motorsport through work with the F1 Arcade in London, where she got to meet true fans of the sport and make a live grand prix watch party memorable for them. It was here that she confirmed her dream of combining her background in journalism and love of motorsport, going on to volunteer with the female-led platform Empoword Journalism. Having completed stints as a screen editor and sports editor, Kerry landed her first F1-specific editorial role with GPFans and has thoroughly enjoyed continuing to work closely with the sport ever since. The access GPFans offers Kerry has allowed her to interview big names such as Naomi Schiff and David Coulthard and given her experiences she could only have dreamt of as a young F1 fan.
