Barcelona F1 Tickets

History of the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix

The Spanish Grand Prix has been a regular feature of the Formula One World Championship since 1968 and is currently held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. From 2026 onwards, the race will be run at a brand-new circuit in Madrid. The first winner of the Spanish Grand Prix was Juan Manuel Fangio in an Alfa Romeo in 1951. Formula One took place at Pedrables, a wide street circuit on the outskirts of Barcelona until the Spanish Grand Prix was moved to Jarama, a permanent circuit north of Madrid.

After two years of the paddock visiting Jarama, it was agreed to alternate every other year and share the event with Montjuïc, a street circuit north of Barcelona. In 1975, a tragic incident at Montjuïc involving Rolf Strommelen killed four spectators. The Spanish Grand Prix was run exclusively from Jarama from thereon.

In 1985, an attempt to revive Spanish support for Formula One came in the form of a new circuit in Jerez, southern Spain, which ran until 1990 and saw iconic battles with Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell. The track was popular with fans and drivers, but that didn’t stop the Spanish government once more changing venues. In 1991, Formula One visited Montmeló, Barcelona, the track still used to this day.

Spanish Grand Prix tickets are perfect for race fans who also enjoy soaking up the local culture, as Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is only a short journey from the bustling city of Barcelona. Grab your tickets from Fanatix.

Lando Norris started on pole position but was beaten to Turn One by George Russell and Max Verstappen, with the three-time champion adopting the lead of the race on Lap Three.
