2022 F1 Spanish Grand Prix session timings and preview

Formula 1 travels to Barcelona this weekend for the 2022 Spanish Grand Prix. Here's the full schedule for the sixth round of the 2022 F1 season.

Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes have won the Spanish GP for the last five years in a row, but judging by the pecking order in recent races there is a good chance their streak might come to an end in 2022.
