Qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix is scheduled for Saturday at the new Madring track in Madrid. Drivers have described the track as punishing and unforgiving. After Arvid Lindblad had a crash during practice, George Russell said it is very high risk. The crash marked a first for Lindblad in grand prix racing.
Kimi Antonelli led practice, ahead of Ferrari. Max Verstappen was unimpressed with the layout. Sunday's race is the first Spanish Grand Prix at Madring.
