F1 Qualifying Today: Spanish Grand Prix start times, schedule and how to watch live on TV

Formula 1 cars hit the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya once again on Saturday, May 31, for qualifying ahead of the 2025 Spanish Grand Prix.

After Friday's two practice sessions, McLaren once again looks to be the team to beat this weekend, seemingly unaffected by the new wing changes introduced for the remainder of the season.

Lando Norris topped FP1 quite comfortably on Friday, for example, with championship leader Oscar Piastri doing the exact same in FP2 later in the day.

At last year's Spanish Grand Prix, it was Norris who grabbed pole position for the race, too, just edging the now four-time world champion Max Verstappen on that occasion.

On Sunday, of course, Verstappen had the last laugh, going on to take the race victory, with Norris having to settle for second and Lewis Hamilton rounding out the podium in third.

We can't wait to see who comes out on top this weekend, and it all starts with who can get the best starting spot in qualifying later today!
