For anyone who enjoys the background politics in Formula One, the two weeks between the Russian and Spanish Grands Prix were pure heaven.

Red Bull demoted Daniil Kvyat to Toro Rosso, although it wasn't a demotion in Helmut Marko's Bizarro World, per Autobild (h/t ESPN F1's Nate Saunders). Swapping spots with the Russian is 18-year-old Max Verstappen, who will now face even more scrutiny and pressure, as if being the youngest driver in F1 history wasn't enough.

Meanwhile, Nico Rosberg is running away with the drivers' championship on the back of four straight victories. However, he has benefited so far from the poor luck and reliability of his Mercedes team-mate, Lewis Hamilton. Eventually the pendulum will have to swing in the other direction, right?

Hamilton does not sound worried yet, despite the problems with his car, which led to some ridiculous conspiracy theories. "The team has been on it 24/7 since returning from Russia so I'm confident they'll get to the bottom of the problems we've been having," he said, per a team press release. "I know I'm still quick. I've known that since day one in testing and, when I've had clean air and a damage-free car this season, I've shown it on track."

While Mercedes have dominated, everyone is still waiting for a much-anticipated challenge from Ferrari. The Scuderia have had a man on the podium at every race this year but have been unable to push the Mercs since a poor tyre choice cost them the race in Australia.

Keep reading for a full race weekend preview, including TV times, current championship standings, a circuit map and guide, tyre and DRS information, weather forecast, odds and session times.
