WATCH: Usually, the SpanishGrandPrix at the Circuit the Barcelona-Catalunya does not dish up a classic - some will go even so far as to call it a snoozefest SpanishGP By FreemanZAR IOLsport

That is especially true since 2015 - the Age of Mercedes - where every winner, except Max Vertsappen in 2016, has come from the front-row. Moreover, of the 31 GPS that have been held at the track, 22 pole-sitters have claimed the top step on the podium - that is a whopping 71%. There are a handful of reasons for this dominance. The drivers, pitcrew, mechanics and strategists are intimately knowledgeable of the track, as F1's winter testing occurs at Catalunya.

Moreover, the track layout and the aerodynamics of the cars are such that overtaking is extremely difficult. It does happen, mostly at Turn 1 after a long main straight and DRS-zone, but the dirty air created by the leading car in these maneuvers are so disruptive that the car following can lose up to 12km/h by the exit of Turn 3, and up to 12% downforce.
