What happened: McLaren turned to fans on social media ahead of the Barcelona Grand Prix, asking what the team should check out around the city. The post leaned into the race-week atmosphere with #McLarenF1 and #BarcelonaGP rather than any on-track update.

Why it matters: Race-week fan engagement keeps McLaren's audience active between sessions as the paddock settles into the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. It fits a steady stream of teams playing up the host city as Formula 1's European stretch continues.

What to watch: Attention turns to the on-track running at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where practice and qualifying will set the order for the Grand Prix.
