The first red flag is a fact in qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix. Alexander Albon and Valtteri Bottas both slipped into the gravel at the same time, at different points of the track. Both drivers were able to continue their way, but race control had already waved the red flag.

All drivers went out on slicks, but it is not completely dry yet in Barcelona. Especially in the last sector it is tricky, as we also saw Fernando Alonso and Nyck de Vries spin.
