LateRooms.com - Barcelona to Host Spanish Grand Prix
The Spanish Grand Prix takes place at the Circuit de Catalunya in May.

BARCELONA, SPAIN, April 05, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Motor racing stars such as Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel will head to Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix next month.

The fifth race of the Formula One season is due to take place at the Circuit de Catalunya on Sunday May 22nd, with practice sessions and qualifying starting two days before.

Mark Webber won the race for Red Bull last year after a dramatic finish, but the Australian will be just one of several drivers aiming to clinch glory on the track this time around.

World champion Sebastian Vettel got his title defence off to the perfect start with victory in the Australian Grand Prix last month.

However, Hamilton is already close behind the German after finishing second in Melbourne and will be aiming to close the gap as the season progresses.

The Circuit de Catalunya, situated to the north of Barcelona in the town of Montmelo, is known for its challenging combination of high and low-speed corners.

With Spanish driver Fernando Alonso of Ferrari also aiming to win the championship this year, the atmosphere at the track is sure to be electric for the Grand Prix.

A weekend pass for general admission to the circuit is priced at GBP148.37.
