Here we go again! Another Grand Prix weekend is upon us and this time we're in Spain as we return to Barcelona. As is usually the case with the Spanish Grand Prix, we've got a few updates to keep our eyes on, including Ferrari and Renault's engine packages. Who will set the first marker down? Will Ferrari find their pre-season dominance? We'll find out shortly!
Last time out
It was another one-two for Mercedes in Baku, the fourth of the season. Valtteri Bottas picked up his second race win of the season, proving that he's going to be fighting Lewis Hamilton for the world championship in 2019. Ferrari again struggled with Sebastian Vettel picking up a podium and Charles Leclerc's qualifying crash putting him out of contention. Elsewhere, Sergio Perez experienced his usual good run of form in Baku with a P6, while McLaren finished P7 and P8. It was another tricky weekend for Renault.
