Spanish Grand Prix: What happened last year?
Will we see a repeat in 2019?
With Ferrari still reeling from Mercedes' record-breaking start to the 2019 Formula 1 season, looking back to the 2018 Spanish Grand Prix might be enough to fill Scuderia fans with dread ahead of this weekend's return to the Circuit de Catalunya.
It was a race to forget for the red cars as Kimi Raikkonen suffered a mechanical failure and Sebastian Vettel was pitted under the VSC, dropping third place to Max Verstappen and then failing to win it back.
Up front, Mercedes secured a one-two finish after locking out the front row – sounds familiar!
