This will be the seventh race of the F1 2023 season and only the second in Europe so far.

Formula 1 will be gearing up for another race weekend at Spanish GP 2023. Two-time world champion, Max Verstappen won the last race at Monaco GP and currently leads the Driver’s Standings.

This will be the seventh race of the season, which will take place over 66 laps of a 4.65-kilometer track at Barcelona.
