The F1 Spanish Grand Prix makes its first visit to the new Madring circuit this weekend and Channel 4 have free TV coverage of the weekend action in the UK.

The brand new 5.416km circuit - complete with 22 corners and that spectacular banked La Monumental curve - is expected to provide plenty of thrills and spills.

Lewis Hamilton is looking to bounce back after that miserable weekend for Ferrari in Monza while championship leader Kimi Antonelli just wants more of the same after that brilliant victory from a P19 grid slot in his home Italian Grand Prix.

C4 have you covered for free coverage in the UK, and we have full details.
