The Formula 1 season returns to Europe for a summer of fun and games across the continent, starting with the Spanish Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen clinched the win out in Canada last time, but renewed vigour and pace from Ferrari and McLaren, coupled with increased hope at Mercedes, suggests we could be in for a terrific middle sector of the campaign.

The Red Bull superstar capitalised on three retirements from the top five drivers in the overall standings at Montreal.

Ferrari duo Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz failed to finish, while under-pressure Red Bull ace Sergio Pérez also recorded a DNF.

Lando Norris maintained momentum for McLaren with a second-place finish, and George Russell secured third after qualifying in pole position.

RadioTimes.com brings you the full schedule for race weekend at the Spanish Grand Prix.
