Spanish GP 2020 – Preview & Betting Tips


Formula 1 heads to Barcelona next for the sixth race of the season, the Spanish GP 2020.  This will be the final leg of the second triple-header which began with the British GP at the beginning of August.

 

Prior to the shutdown due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, pre-season testing had started in Barcelona back in February. Now, six months later, Formula 1 returns to the same paddock for a rescheduled race.

 

 

Mercedes has had a staggering four wins in the opening five races. The first time a race wasn’t won by the British constructors was, in fact, the last one. Max Verstappen of Red Bull took last weekend’s 70th Anniversary GP at Silverstone.
