Formula One: Spanish Grand Prix - Circuit de Catalunya

This is the third Spanish track to hold a Grand Prix, and undoubtedly the most exciting, with fast straights and corners. It has produced some memorable finishes, particularly in 1991 when Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna were neck-and-neck right down the finishing straight.

Formula One is the king of motor sports. Since its inauguration in 1950 it has attracted the very best talents in the world of motor racing, hungry for the fabulous riches and unrivalled prestige it offers. As a spectacle it is unsurpassed. The sheer speed of the cars is hard to comprehend, and the noise from the track is almost deafening. It represents the pinnacle of man's motoring achievement and the epitome of his love affair with speed.

Starting in Melbourne, Australia, there are 19 races in the season, across four continents, before the big finale in China. Highlights include the Monaco Grand Prix, set on the roads of Monte Carlo, and the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, where you can expect passionate support from Ferrari's fanatical Tifozi.
