Formula 1 teams will begin their weekend at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya with two practice sessions on Friday. The action follows a dramatic Monaco Grand Prix won by Kimi Antonelli. Sunny and dry conditions are forecast for the day.
Free Practice 1 is set to start at 1:30pm CEST on Friday, June 12, with Free Practice 2 following at 5:00pm CEST. Teams will use the sessions to assess their cars on the permanent road course after the stop-start nature of the previous race.
Kimi Antonelli secured his fifth straight victory in Monaco from pole position. Mercedes teammate George Russell placed 13th in that event after receiving a penalty. An appeal filed by Alpine remains pending and could affect the final standings.
Weather forecasts indicate stable sunny conditions with rising temperatures through the afternoon. This setup will allow teams to focus on tyre management and long-run pace as the track evolves between the two sessions.
The full weekend continues with Free Practice 3 and qualifying on Saturday, followed by the Grand Prix on Sunday, June 14.
