Spanish Grand Prix times

The FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO DE ESPAÑA 2018, to be staged from 11 to 13 May, has launched its Spanish Grand Prix timetable with some significant changes. The most relevant change is that the F1 World Championship race will start on Sunday at 15.10 h.

The remaining sessions, both the free and the qualifying practices, will start an hour later as well. The first free practices will be staged on Friday, from 11.00 to 12.30 h and the second session from 15.00 to 16.30 h. The cars will be back on the track on Saturday at noon, to get ready for the qualifying practices that are scheduled from 15:00 to 16:00h. The weekend will have its highlight on Sunday with the race at 15:10h.

Despite the novelties, the Grand Prix will include classics that cannot be missed. The expected Pit Lane Walkabout (16.00-18.30 h) and the Autograph Session (16.00-18.00 h) will take place on Thursday. On that same day, at 18.00 h many of the drivers will have the chance to go back in time, to their initial car driving experiences, during a karting exhibition. On Saturday, some F1 drivers will attend the Fan Forum (18.00-19.00 h), and at 19.00 h, the leading role will be taken over by the runners, since they will be able to run in a unique surrounding on the racetrack. Sunday will include the usual drivers’ parade (13.30 h) and the opening of the track after the race finish.
