Here’s everything you need to know regarding the regulations on consumption of alcohol at the Spanish Grand Prix.
F1 fans visiting Barcelona for the Spanish GP will not be able to consume alcohol while enjoying the action on the track. Alcohol was earlier banned in three races of the season so far – Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan. The restrictions apply in Barcelona as well and no alcoholic beverages will be allowed within the premises of your circuit. Let us now take a look at some of the important regulations and guidelines that the visiting fans need to keep in mind.
The sale of alcoholic beverages within the Circuit de Catalunya is forbidden, so do not expect that you’ll be able to purchase alcoholic drinks from in-house outlets. However, fans attending the race can purchase non-alcoholic beverages and other soft drinks from outlets located within the circuit premises.
It is important to keep in mind that you won’t be allowed to carry glasses, bottles, containers or cans inside the venue. Sharp and objects like knives, scissors and personal mobility devices like cycles, scooters etc are also prohibited.
A cloudy and pleasant weather is set to welcome F1 teams and fans to Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix. The temperature in Barcelona at this time of year is relatively higher than the rest of Europe and moderate showers are not a rare sight.
However, teams and fans should get relief from the heat this weekend as it is predicted to remain cloudy. There is a moderate chance of rainfall but it is unlikely to be heavy enough to affect the racing sessions.
Conditions are expected to be ideal for racing on Friday. Both practice sessions will take place under pleasant temperatures ranging between 18-23 degrees Celsius.
It will remain cloudy but the chances of rainfall are pretty less. Saturday will also be partly cloudy and similar conditions are expected for the qualifying season, with no major threat of rainfall. However, there is a 50% chance of showers on Sunday – the race day.
Although, the rainfall is not likely to be very heavy, fans visiting the circuit should take necessary precautions. As things stand, the race won’t be affected by showers as nothing more than a drizzle is expected.
