Sebastian Vettel leads the Formula One world championship as the European part of the 2017 season gets underway.
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya hosts the fifth race of the season, with last year’s race living long in the memory of Formula One fans.
Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton infamously collided on the opening lap of this race twelve months ago, allowing Max Verstappen to claim his maiden victory on his first race for Red Bull.
Due to the amount of testing that is done at this track, the teams use this race to bring the first major upgrade packages of the season to their cars. The development battle is likely to be the key to deciding both championships this year, with the battle between Mercedes and Ferrari set to go down to the wire.
With just one podium finish so far, it is fair to say that Red Bull has underperformed this season. They will look to close the gap with their new parts, with early rumours suggesting a B-spec car will arrive for both drivers ahead of this race.
The Spanish Grand Prix has been on the calendar every year since 1986, so it is hardly surprising that there are plenty of memorable moments from races gone by. We have picked out five of the best.
1991: Mansell and Senna's epic duel
The first race in Barcelona is remembered for the epic duel between Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna in the early stages.
In the drying conditions, Mansell got a good run out of the final corner and pulled to the inside of Senna, with sparks flying from the skid blocks of both the Williams and the McLaren. Mansell made the move stick, with just a few millimetres between their cars as they reached turn one.
1994: Schumacher's sticky situation
Michael Schumacher put in plenty of impressive drives during his 18 seasons in Formula One, with one of them being at Barcelona in 1994.
Schumacher initially led the race from pole position, but his Benetton car got stuck in fifth gear. This would be bad enough on any track, but following the death of Ayrton Senna a few weeks earlier, the Nissan chicane was added to the circuit to slow the cars down.
The German had to use every ounce of his past experience to come up with new racing lines that allowed him to keep up his momentum. It proved successful, as the championship leader came home second behind his title rival Damon Hill.
1996: The Regeinmeister proves his name
The soaking wet conditions in 1996 saw Michael Schumacher obliterate the opposition.
In a race where only six drivers finished, Schumacher was lapping three seconds a lap quicker than second placed Jean Alesi. He finished over 45 seconds ahead of Alesi, lapping three of the six finishers at least once on the way.
2001: Hakkinen's heartbreak
Mika Hakkinen looked set to win the 2001 Spanish Grand Prix by more than 40 seconds over his arch rival Michael Schumacher.
As he came through the first couple of corners on the final lap, though, his engine failed and the Fin was forced to retire.
Schumacher inherited what even he admitted was a hollow victory, but to finish first, first, you must finish.
2012: Maldonado makes history
Pastor Maldonado may well be infamous for his regular crashes in Formula One, but we got a glimpse of what he could do when he put his mind to it in 2012.
After inheriting pole following Lewis Hamilton’s disqualification from qualifying, Maldonado fought off the challenge of home favourite Fernando Alonso to take a famous victory.
This remains Williams’ most recent win, but the Venezuelan would leave the Grove-based team after 2013 following a collapse in relations with them.
