TV program and timetable for the Spanish Grand Prix

Formula 1 concludes its European trilogy with the Spanish Grand Prix, taking place this weekend at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. This ninth round of the 2025 season could prove decisive with the introduction of new regulations on the flexibility of front wings. Here is the TV schedule and everything you need to know to fully enjoy this event.

Internal strife escalates at McLaren

Lando Norris brilliantly won the Monaco Grand Prix, his first victory in the Principality, and is now closely behind his teammate Oscar Piastri in the overall drivers’ championship standings. With only three points difference, the internal battle at McLaren promises to be fierce for the rest of the season.

On his side, Max Verstappen, the reigning world champion, retains his chances with a 25-point deficit to Piastri. George Russell holds the fourth position but is already 62 points behind the Australian leader.

In the constructors’ standings, McLaren is dominant with 319 points, ahead of Mercedes (147 points), Red Bull (143 points), and Ferrari (142 points).

New rule on wing flexibility

This weekend in Barcelona, the tightening of controls on the flexibility of front wings could shake up the ranking hierarchy. Ferrari, which has had a mixed start to the season, sees this regulatory change as an opportunity to reverse the trend. Charles Leclerc, fifth in the standings, and Lewis Hamilton, sixth, hope to benefit from it.

For its part, McLaren, the leader with six wins in eight races, is displaying confidence despite the uncertainty about the impact of this rule and will have to prove that its dominance does not rely solely on the flexibility of its wings. Meanwhile, Red Bull is watching closely, hoping that these changes will affect the performance of the Woking team.

Farewell to Barcelona at the Spanish Grand Prix

The 2025 edition will mark the last official appearance of Barcelona as the host of the Spanish Grand Prix. From 2026, the event will move to a brand new 5.47-kilometer urban track set around the Ifema exhibition center, located between Madrid and Barajas Airport.

The future of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Formula 1 remains uncertain, even though the organizers do not rule out hosting another race there in the future. This transition marks the end of a 35-year era of history between F1 and the Catalan track.

Weather: heat and clear sky

The weather forecast promises a sun-drenched weekend with temperatures ranging between 24°C and 27°C. No precipitation is in the forecast, maintaining the tradition of the Spanish Grand Prix, which hasn’t seen a race in the rain since the beginning of the century.

These optimal climatic conditions will provide teams the opportunity to focus exclusively on the repercussions of the new technical regulations without having to contend with the whims of the weather.

A potential turning point of the season

This ninth round is shaping up as a true test for all teams. Between the fierce battle raging at the top of the championship, the introduction of new technical regulations, and the historical significance of the Barcelona circuit, all elements converge to make this Spanish Grand Prix a decisive episode of the 2025 season.

The judgment delivered in Barcelona could very well seal the fate of the season: Will McLaren manage to maintain its hegemony, or will its pursuers exploit the regulatory changes to catch up? The paddock holds its breath.

The sessions of the Spanish Grand Prix will be broadcast live on Canal+ (France), La Une and Auvio (Belgium), and RTS (Switzerland). All the schedules can be found below.
