Qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix is scheduled for Saturday at the brand new Madring track in Madrid. Drivers describe the track as punishing and unforgiving. After Arvid Lindblad had a crash in the session, George Russell said it is extremely risky. The crash marked a first for Lindblad in grand prix racing.
Kimi Antonelli topped the timesheet, ahead of Ferrari. Max Verstappen was unimpressed with the circuit layout. Sunday's race is the first Spanish Grand Prix at Madring.
