Spanish Grand Prix

The Spanish Grand Prix is hosted on probably one of the best all-round circuits, Circuit de Catalunya. Which some may think is great, but in fact this event is not one of the most exciting in the calendar.

The reason is simple, there is so much testing done here that the teams and the drivers are just too familiar with the circuit.

The organisers tried to change things a bit in 2007 by redesigning a part of the circuit in order to improve the overtaking and increase excitement, but it proved to be a real failure.

Fernando Alonso became the first Spaniard to win the Spanish Grand Prix in 2006.
