Only twice in 12 years has Lewis Hamilton's teammate been able to get the better of him over the course of a Formula One season. Jenson Button achieved it when the two were at McLaren back in 2011, arguably Hamilton's worst season and one where he suffered a spate of mechanical issues. More recently it was Nico Rosberg who bested Hamilton. The German did it in 2016 en route to his sole world championship crown. Bottas' impressive start to 2019 is one which has surprised many. The Finn has already claimed two wins from the first four races, a stark improvement from his winless 2018 campaign that left his position at Mercedes in jeopardy. Other than his mediocre weekend in Bahrain, which still ended in P2, Bottas has been a real match for Hamilton so far this year, at times he has even looked to have had the edge on the five-time world champion. The question is whether or not he can sustain it as Hamilton generally steps up a gear when racing returns to Europe. Last year, from races five to 14, Hamilton outscored Bottas 186-119. Needless to say that can't happen again if he wants to challenge for the title. Valtteri Bottas of Mercedes celebrates on the podium after winning the 2019 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Charles Coates/Getty Images Which car will suit the track? The Circuit de Catalunya is a track which every driver is familiar with, given it's the home of preseason winter testing. Mercedes has been the dominant force on Saturday in Barcelona, taking all five pole positions in the V6 era. On four of those occasions the Silver Arrows have locked out the front row. On Sunday it's been Hamilton who has had the best of it in recent times winning in 2017 and 2018, however, like Azerbaijan in the last race, Spain has thrown up some surprise race results in recent times and it can be a tricky one to predict. Ferrari's pace in testing at this very circuit was ominous, but they appear to have fallen behind Mercedes after the first four races. Still, if circuit form is anything to go by, this could be the Scuderia's best chance of taking a win, particularly given they are bringing their first planned engine upgrade. While wins have been scarce, Red Bull has always enjoyed the circuit with double top-five finishes in two of the past three years. Max Verstappen might yet find himself on another podium. Down the order, Haas could potentially rediscover some form this weekend. The American team had great pace last year in Spain which resulted in Kevin Magnussen finishing sixth. Haas was also lightning quick in pre-season testing in Barcelona. The stat files 10 - Different winners of the Spanish Grand Prix in the past 12 years. 18 years, 227 days - Max Verstappen's age when he won the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix on his Red Bull debut. 7 - Fastest laps by Michael Schumacher in Spain. More than any other driver in history. 100% - Mercedes has scored pole position at Barcelona in every year of the V6 turbo era.

ALEXANDER NEMENOV/AFP/Getty Images Tyre talk Available compounds: Hard C1 (white), Medium C2 (yellow), Soft C3 (red) Mario Isolo, head of car racing -- "There are very few mysteries about Barcelona for the teams, especially this year as the preseason tests were held in quite good weather conditions that should be more representative of the season. However, a number of teams are planning on bringing some car upgrades, so it will be interesting to see the effect of those on tyre behaviour, together with the continued evolution of the new track surface, which we already noted earlier this year. Even in pre-season testing, the cars were incredibly quick out of the box here, so this could be yet another race like last year in Spain where more lap records fall." Minimum starting pressures: Front 22.5 psi, rear 20.5 psi Weather forecast It's a consistent week of overcast weather in Barcelona with temperatures no warmer than 21C at any point. Like most races we've been to this year, rain is again very unlikely, with just a 10 percent chance on both Saturday and Sunday. Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas of Mercedes celebrate on the podium after the 2018 Spanish Grand Prix. Octane/Action Plus via Getty Images ESPN's prediction As mentioned above, a return to Europe brings out the best of Hamilton, and he's gunning for three straight wins in Spain. It's pretty hard to look past him. Winner: Lewis Hamilton<doc-sep>World champion goes back to top of the drivers’ championship after leading from the first corner, with Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas in second<doc-sep>
Dan Istitene/Getty Images Mercedes continued their strong start to the Formula One Spanish Grand Prix in second practice on Friday, as Valtteri Bottas was again on top of the standings. The Finn was lighting quick around the Circuit de Catalunya, posting a time of one minute, 17.284 seconds in the day's second session. That was enough to put him ahead of team-mate Lewis Hamilton, who was 0.049 seconds behind. Earlier in the day, Bottas was fastest for Mercedes in FP1, with the Ferrari pair of Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc in second and third respectively. Here is a recap of Friday's action from Barcelona, including the full standings from both practice sessions. FP2 Recap Video Play Button Videos you might like With Bottas and Hamilton split by the two Ferrari drivers in the early runs, it wasn't completely clear which team would have the edge going into final practice and qualifying on Saturday. However, it would appear Mercedes are again the team to beat. Hamilton was first to go the top of the standings, although he wasn't there for long, as his team-mate produced a better final sector on the soft tyre to move in front again. As the Autosport Live Twitter account relayed, the Mercedes has a big advantage over Ferrari in the final two sectors of the track: The Pirelli Motorsport Twitter account noted that the drivers are already much improved on their times from 2018: There was a small worry for Mercedes at the end of the session when Hamilton complained about a loss of power, although he was able to get his car back to the garage. Ferrari appear to be the best of the rest in Barcelona, as they were a significant way behind the Silver Arrows but comfortably ahead of the other cars in the field. Those seeking some drama in FP3 and qualifying may look to the battle to be on the third row of the grid. Based on Friday's data, there's little separating the Red Bull and Haas teams, with the four drivers from those teams tightly bunched on the standings. FP1 Recap Both Ferrari drivers were fast out of the blocks, and they set the early pace on a crucial weekend for the Italian outfit. However, they were both eclipsed by Bottas once the Finn strapped on the soft tyres. He also had a close call with Max Verstappen early in the session as the Dutchman just avoided him while on a fast lap: The pair both ended the session in the pits as their cars were investigated for apparent oil leaks. That was small fry compared with Lance Stroll's late issues, though. The Racing Point driver crunched nose first into the barriers at Turn 9, drawing a red flag moments before the end of the session while causing major damage to his car. The 20-year-old was able to walk away from the crash and appeared unhurt. But Racing Point will have a job on their hands to repair the damage.
