The Spanish Grand Prix could see Red Bull steal a march on Ferrari this weekend with Max Verstappen in fine fettle.<\/p>\n
The reigning world champion sailed to victory in Miami last time out and looks poised to take his title defence to the next level in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
Red Bull appear to have won the battle over their reliability issues, clearing a path for Verstappen and Sergio Perez to challenge for every podium without fear of a DNF.<\/p>\n
Ferrari star Charles Leclerc still tops the driver standings by 19 points but Verstappen has won more races so far. Another victory for the latter would pile pressure on Leclerc.<\/p>\n
Fans around the world will be excited to see the cars in action around a well-known mainstay on the F1 calendar.<\/p>\n

He has won every race his Red Bull beast machine has managed to complete and a victory here would set him on a path to domination.<\/p>\n Ferrari look set to bring a \u2018big upgrade\u2019 to the table for this race, and they need it to perform fresh out of the box if they are to challenge Red Bull in Barcelona.<\/p>\n The Italians will be delighted with their overall performance so far this season, but if they are serious about locking horns with Red Bull for the driver\u2019s or constructor\u2019s championship, they must continue to develop well.<\/p>\n Ferrari\u2019s Spanish star Carlos Sainz is a man under pressure. He has been sifted behind Charles Leclerc in the pecking order and a dangerous cocktail of pressure, bad fortune and frustration have led to a disappointing season for Sainz so far, despite underlying raw pace.<\/p>\n Sainz picked up in Miami to record a much-needed podium despite finishing five seconds adrift of Leclerc.<\/p>\n He enters his homeland race with plenty of eyeballs watching his every move and must be careful not to try and over-compensate for some poor results in 2022. Sainz is a talented driver but needs consistent, solid results, not one-off spectacular moments.<\/p>\n His compatriot Fernando Alonso is also under pressure to deliver. He has endured a frustrating start to the campaign with just two points from five races, 22 fewer than his teammate Esteban Ocon.<\/p>\n The veteran star, like Sainz, has suffered from a complex blend of bad fortune and disappointing moments, while also showing glimpses of a hungry, quick, competitive world champion.<\/p>\n He must find consistency in the coming weeks to save this from becoming a lost season for Alpine.<\/p>\n Check out our Spanish Grand Prix predictions guide coming soon\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0<\/b>TV Guid<\/b>e<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or visit our Sport<\/a> hub.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
