2024 Spanish Grand Prix
The 2024 Spanish Grand Prix (officially known as the Formula 1 Aramco Gran Premio de España 2024) was a Formula One motor race held on 23 June 2024, at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Montmeló, Spain. It was the tenth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship. Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing took victory ahead of polesitter Lando Norris of McLaren, who was closing in on Verstappen during the final stages of the race. Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes took third, his first podium of the season. This would be Verstappen's last win until the São Paulo Grand Prix, 11 races later, marking his longest winless streak since 2020.
The event was held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in Montmeló for the 34th time in the circuit's history, across the weekend of 21–23 June. The Grand Prix was the tenth round of the 2024 Formula One World Championship and the 54th running of the Spanish Grand Prix as a round of the Formula One World Championship.
Going into the weekend, Max Verstappen led the Drivers' Championship with 194 points, 56 points ahead of Charles Leclerc in second, and 63 ahead of Lando Norris in third. Red Bull Racing, with 301 points, led the Constructors' Championship from Ferrari and McLaren, who are second and third with 252 and 212 points, respectively.
The drivers and teams were the same as the season entry list with no additional stand-in drivers for the race. Oliver Bearman drove in the first free practice session for Haas, in place of Nico Hülkenberg.
Tyre supplier Pirelli brought the C1, C2, and C3 tyre compounds (the three hardest in their range) designated hard, medium, and soft, respectively, for teams to use at the event.
Sergio Pérez of Red Bull Racing carried a three-place grid penalty for failing to leave the track with serious mechanical difficulties after significantly damaging the rear wing at the preceding Canadian Grand Prix.
The DRS zone leading in to turn 1 was shortened by 100 metres (330 ft).
Three free practice sessions were held for the event. The first free practice session was held on 21 June 2024, at 13:30 local time (UTC+2), and was topped by Lando Norris of McLaren ahead of Max Verstappen of Red Bull Racing and Carlos Sainz Jr. of Ferrari. The second free practice session was held on the same day, at 17:00 local time, and was topped by Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes ahead of Sainz and Norris. The third free practice session was held on 22 June 2024, at 12:30 local time, and was topped by Sainz ahead of Norris and Sainz's teammate Charles Leclerc. During the session, Leclerc and Lance Stroll of Aston Martin impeded Norris and Hamilton in separate incidents. Leclerc and Stroll cut across Norris and Hamilton, respectively, with contact occurring in both cases. Leclerc and Stroll were both reprimanded for "erratic driving".
