Craig Slater keeps us up to date with Qualifying for the Spanish GP while coming down a 200-metre zip wire

Sky F1's Craig Slater delivered a Spanish GP update with real momentum on Saturday morning as he reported to Sky Sports News HQ while travelling down a zip wire.

The 200m wire is one of a number of things fans at the Circuit de Catalunya can try this weekend as F1 Experiences launched the inaugural Fan Festival, part of Liberty Media's initiative to get fans more involved on weekends.

The festival also includes race simulators, pit stop challenges and performances from live DJs.

Ever the professional, Craig kept his composure to calmly deliver his update to Sky Sports News HQ ahead of Saturday Qualifying as he travelled down the wire.

And it came just 24 hours after Craig grabbed an exclusive interview with Titan the Robot.
