Formula 1 heads to Spain this weekend for the highly anticipated 2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, with Mercedes star Kimi Antonelli continuing to dominate the championship race.
The young Italian sensation is coming off his fifth consecutive Formula 1 victory after another impressive performance at the Monaco Grand Prix. Antonelli has quickly become the driver to beat in the 2026 season, extending his lead over teammate George Russell to 68 points in the drivers’ standings.
