The 2025 F1 Spanish Grand Prix is set to conclude on June 1, with Max Verstappen aiming to defend his title after setting the fastest lap in 2023 at 1:16.330.

The event officially begins on May 30 with practice sessions, followed by qualifying on May 31 at 15:00 BST. Historically, the race favors front-row starters, with only three exceptions since 1991.

"The Spanish Grand Prix has not been won from outside the front-row three times since Barcelona joined the calendar in 1991," highlighting the importance of qualifying position.

Notably, Michael Schumacher is among the few to win from outside the front two positions, achieving victories from third in 1996, fifth in 2013, and fourth in 2016. Verstappen himself won from pole position in 2023.

Fans can watch the race live on SRF, a Swiss TV channel with an online streaming platform, SRF Play, which offers free live streaming. Some viewers use VPNs to bypass geo-blocks.

With Verstappen's dominant performance last year and the historical trend favoring front-row starters, the 2025 Spanish GP promises intense competition and strategic qualifying battles.
