Spanish Grand Prix 2026 Preview
Where do you start with Antonelli's stunning victory? He surged from 19th on the grid, after a grid penalty incurred for an engine change, to register the second-furthest back from which any driver has managed win a Grand Prix in history and Italy's first home win in 60 years.
With 10 races to go, Antonelli looks in supreme command of his own destiny but this weekend enters uncharted territory in Madrid. That's true for every driver on the grid, though, with the newly built Madring to host its first Spanish Grand Prix – the close barriers and more corners (22) than any other 2026 track will make qualifying extra important. Keep an eye out for the 270-degree La Monumental curve, with 24% banking, too.
Lewis Hamilton will hope to put his sixth-place Monza disappointment behind him after the Brit all-but conceded his title chase is over, with a gargantuan 76 points to make up on Antonelli. Defending champion Lando Norris is a further 20 points back. Max Verstappen is still seeking a first win of the season in the Red Bull.
Below we'll show you how to watch Spanish Grand Prix live streams from anywhere in the world.
