Ever since the start of the V6 hybrid era in 2014, Mercedes has held a comfortable advantage over the rest of the field at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. In fact, if it wasn’t for the collision between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg at the start of the 2016 race, Mercedes would have likely enjoyed a run of seven consecutive victories in the Spanish GP.
Hamilton starts the 2021 edition of the race from pole position, having narrowly outpaced Max Verstappen in qualifying. Their teammates Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez will line up third and eighth respectively.
