The pre race activities are wrapping up in Spain, so you should probably find a TV or race tracker feed if you haven't already!

Fans of Lando Norris may be a bit disappointed that he won't be starting in pole position today, but the driver sounds like he already knows what to fix going into the actual race.

According to GB News, Norris was upbeat after his performance yesterday and opted to praise his rivals' performances instead of dwelling on his own.

While discussing Oscar Piastri of McLaren, Norris said, "Oscar drove very well. I think the pace was definitely there, I just [made] a couple of little mistakes."

While Norris wanted to start the Spanish Grand Prix in first place, there's a reason why Lando isn't that upset. F1's official website shows that Lando Norris qualified to start 2nd today, which means he'll be side-by-side with his McLaren teammate.

What else should we look out for today?
