How to watch Formula 1's Spanish Grand Prix online - Android

The 2021 Formula 1 season continues and this weekend teams and drivers are in Catalonia, Spain for this year's Spanish Grand Prix and we have all the details on how you can watch the race on TV or online.

The 2021 Formula 1 season continues and this weekend teams and drivers are in Catalonia, Spain for this year's Spanish Grand Prix and we have all the details on how you can watch the race on TV or online.

Constructed as part of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics development program, the Circuit De Barcelona-Catalunya held its first car race during the 1991 Spanish Touring Car Championship but two weeks later Formula 1 held its first race on the track. The track itself has 16 turns, a circuit length of 2.9 miles and drivers will complete 66 laps before finishing the 191-mile race. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is a favorite among Formula 1 drivers as the track has a good mix of high and low-speed corners and it is often used for winter testing.

During the qualifiers earlier in the weekend, Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton was able to triumph over Red Bull's Max Verstappen by just 0.036s and, as a result, he will start on pole. In fact, Hamilton has become the first driver in the history of Formula 1 to make it to 100 pole positions. Verstappen will start the race in second position after Hamilton while Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas will take the third position.

At last weekend's Portuguese Grand Prix, the results were quite similar to this weekend's qualifiers as Hamilton was also able to overtake Verstappen to come in first with a time of 1:3431 while Bottas finished third. As for the constructor standings going into the fourth race of the Formula 1 2021 season, Mercedes remains at the top with 101 points with 2 wins and 5 podiums, followed by Red Bull with 83 points, 1 win, and 3 podiums and McLaren holds the third spot with 43 points, no wins and just 1 podium.

Will eight-time world champion Hamilton remain at the top or will Verstappen finally be able to overtake him in this race as he did just once so far this season at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix back in April?
