Starting Grid and TV Schedule for the 2026 Barcelona F1 Grand Prix
- Published on 14/06/2026 14:02
Join us in Barcelona this Sunday, June 14 at 3:00 PM for the seventh round of the 2026 F1 season.
The stage is set for a Grand Prix that could very well mark a turning point in the 2026 F1 season. Under the Barcelona sun, George Russell secured pole position after a particularly competitive qualifying session. The Brit will be joined on the front row by Lewis Hamilton, who achieved his best performance on a Saturday in nearly two years.
For Mercedes, this entirely British front row feels like a rebirth. For Hamilton especially, this event is significant. The seven-time world champion hadn’t experienced the joy of the front row since Silverstone 2024. At 41 years old, he is now in an ideal position to play a leading role once again.
But behind the Silver Arrows is a man who currently seems untouchable. Winner of the last five rounds and solid championship leader, Kimi Antonelli will start from third position. For the first time in several weeks, the Italian was outpaced in qualifying by his two closest challengers in the standings. A simple setback or a sign that the competition is closing in?
Chasing the Mercedes
Lando Norris will share the second row with the Mercedes driver before a third row completely filled with Red Bull colors. Max Verstappen, in fifth, will have another chance to demonstrate his racing prowess, while Isack Hadjar continues to confirm, weekend after weekend, his status as the revelation of the season.
The remainder of the top 10 features Oscar Piastri, Liam Lawson, Nico Hülkenberg, and Charles Leclerc. The Monegasque may have some regrets after his off-track incident in Q3, which prevented him from fully competing in the final minutes of the session.
