Though it may not be as tight as Circuit de Monaco, which hosted its annual glorified parade known as the Monaco Grand Prix this past weekend, Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is a Formula 1 track at which qualifying is particularly important.
The eight most recent Spanish Grands Prix at the 16-turn, 2.892-mile (4.654-kilometer) road course in Montmelo, Catalonia, Spain have all been won from the front row, five of which from pole, and just three times in the track's 34-race history has a winner come from anywhere other than the front row.
Of the front row victories, 24 of 31 have come from pole position, though in Max Verstappen's current three-year Spanish Grand Prix win streak, he has twice won from second on the grid. Nobody has ever won the race from lower than fifth.
