Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix - Preview

Audi Revolut F1® Team heads to Barcelona looking to build on the encouraging pace shown in Monaco.

Returning to where the journey began.

Following a busy weekend in the Principality, the championship moves to the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, a traditional circuit that is often held as the archetypal permanent track, owing to its wide range of corners and technical requirements. The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya holds special significance for Audi Revolut F1® Team, having hosted the first laps of the R26 during pre-season running in January. Returning to the venue where the team's 2026 story began offers an opportunity to reflect on the steps made so far, while remaining focused on the work still to come to fulfil the team’s objectives.

Formula 3 also returns to action this weekend, with Freddie Slater looking to continue his strong form following his Feature Race podium finish at the Monaco round.

“... proof that we are continuing to make progress, even if the final outcome did not reward the work that went into the weekend. Barcelona presents a different challenge altogether, but it is a circuit we know well and one that provides a good reference point for measuring our development."

Allan McNish

"We return to the track where our story started earlier this year, and our aim is to build on the positives from last weekend, continue learning and keep moving forward.”

"There were still positives to take away from last weekend: our pace was encouraging, and that's something we want to carry forward. Barcelona is a very different challenge from Monaco and it's always a good test of the overall package. We've been making steps in the right direction so hopefully we will be able to extract the potential of the car."

"... and one where teams have no surprises, thanks to all the testing we’ve done there already. Our focus needs to be on a clean weekend in which we can maximise the potential of our car, execute well, and hopefully come home with some points.”
