RACE WEEKEND TIPS

Check out these useful tips for getting the most out of the Spanish Grand Prix at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona. 

• The first piece of advice is obvious - get there early. Especially on the first race day on Sunday. It's better to enjoy the atmosphere of the race on the circuit than waiting in the queue, don't you think? The ideal time to arrive at the circuit is around 9 am.
• Plan what you want to do and where you want to go. If you're going with friends, bear in mind that the circuit's mobile phone network is very busy, especially on Sundays, and phone and data services may not work. Always arrange a checkpoint where you can meet if you get lost.
• The Spanish have their chance of winning with their famous driver at their home race. Carlos Sainz will be looking for success in the red Ferrari colours in front of the home fans. And legend Fernando Alonso will be making his first home appearance in the colours of his new Aston Martin team. As well the Spaniards, the race is also popular with Italian Ferrari fans and many spectators travel from France to watch. Follow the groups on social media to find the best places to cheer.
