2024 Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix Highlights

Fernando and Lance finished P12 and P14 under the Spanish sunshine at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Fernando began the Spanish Grand Prix in P10, while Lance started in P14. Both opted to begin the Grand Prix on the Soft compound tyre. Both drivers were on similar strategies. They made their first pit stop for Mediums. Later in the race, both drivers pitted for Hard tyres, which continued until the end of the race. Fernando finished his home race in P12, while Lance classified P14.

Fernando Alonso

It was disappointing not to score any points this weekend in front of the home fans. We struggled with our pace the whole weekend and suffered from high tyre degradation in today’s race. It’s likely to be tough over the next few race weekends, but we will get our heads down, work even harder, and look to improve. We have Austria next weekend and the team’s home race at Silverstone.

Lance Stroll

We knew today would be challenging, but it was still a tough race. We went for the two-stop strategy,, and, as expected, much of the race was spent managing tyre degradation. We weren’t competitive enough this weekend, so we had to work ahead of Austria to find better performance.

Mike Krack, Team Principal:

It was a frustrating weekend for the team, but not entirely unexpected. It was a race to forget at a track that exposed our known weaknesses. We understand the areas to remedy but must be patient, as they won’t come overnight.

Lance and Fernando did the best with what we gave them today. I want to thank the fans for their support this week. Rest assured, we are working hard to bring more performances.
