Huge show off's (planned at least) from the McLarens... but lets see... I think the race mode will be quite different... especially while the track is super hot!

49.2 C right now...

Barcelona is a 66 lap race...

Almost no wind... 5km/h and temperatures round around 30C... so quite hot!

This is the GRID!

Lower teams might benefit from this hot track temperatures...

Unlike quali there will be lots of tire management and takovers... so this might be a very interesting circuit.

looks like hards are limited to one set... so eager to see how and whom uses soft tires under these hot conditions.

20 minutes left for the race to start!

Nice images!

Stroll is out!!! 😆 even before the race begins...

Quick break... before we start!
