• Some of football's biggest names have been seen at the Spanish Grand Prix
• Aymeric Laporte made it to Barcelona after playing in Saturday's FA Cup final
• Kylian Mbappe was also in attendance, alongside Sergio Busquets and Neymar Jr.

Formula 1's ability to attract the world's biggest stars was clear to see once again during the Spanish Grand Prix, with both Premier League footballers and Hollywood A-listers out in force to watch the race in Barcelona this weekend.

Not to be outdone by Monaco and Miami, the Spanish Grand Prix saw a whole host of stars in the paddocks of F1 teams ahead of the race on Sunday.

As reported by talksport, Aymeric Laporte was spotted at the Spanish Grand Prix after appearing in Man City's FA Cup final win a day earlier.

The 29-year-old came on as a late substitute as City beat Man United 2-1 to keep their treble hopes alive, and then jetted to Barcelona for a well-earned day off.

He will likely be in training shortly, though, as Pep Guardiola's side prepare for the Champions League final against Inter Milan.

Kylian Mbappe joined him at the track with PSG teammate Neymar, as the Frenchman was seen sporting a VIP lanyard and a small Ferrari badge on his shirt.

Mbappe was also in action on Saturday, as PSG ended a title-winning season with a disappointing 3-2 loss to Clermont.

He finished the season with 36 goals across all competitions, but will have to do without Lionel Messi next year, with the Argentine legend set to leave Paris this summer.

Messi's former teammate, Sergio Busquets was seen at the race after receiving an emotional farewell following his final Barcelona game last week.

Chelsea duo, Reece James and Joao Felix were two more football stars spotted at the Circuit de Barcelona, Catalunya. Ben Chilwell and Mason Mount attended qualifying on Saturday.

Felix was seen chatting with Red Bull driver Sergio Perez, who started the Grand Prix in 11th after a disappointing qualifying performance.
