The Spanish Grand Prix is a Formula One race held at the Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. It is part of the annual Formula One championship season.
The first Spanish Grand Prix in 1913 was not run to the Grand Prix formula of the day, but to touring car rules: it took place on a 300-kilometre road circuit at Guadarrama, near Madrid.
Motor racing events had taken place in Spain prior to that - the most notable among them being the Catalan Cup of 1908 and 1909.

The circuit which is 2.88 miles in length requires drivers to complete 66 laps to finish the circuit. Michael Schumacher is the driver who has most wins at this track, with 6 to his name. It is also his team, Ferrari, which has most constructor's wins, with 9 to their name.
Last years race was won by Fernando Alsonso and Renault.

In 1975 the Spanish Grand Prix was marked with tragedy, a number of drivers and constructors expressed worries about a number of safety issues and Emerson Fittipaldi retired after one practice lap in protest, their worst fears were brought to light when on the 26th lap Rolf Srommelen crashed and the rear wing broke off killing four spectators.

A new track was completed in 1985 in the town of Jerez, and it saw a furious battle between Ayrton Senna and Nigel Mansell with the two cars finishing within 0.014 seconds between then, the closest finish even in Formula one racing.

Work on the circuit de catalunya was completed in 1991 and this became the home to spanish grand Prix, where it has remained since.

On the 13th of May, this year's Spanish Grand Prix was won by Ferrari's Felipe Massa, completing   65 laps in 1:31:36:230. See more results here.
