Red Bull driver finishes 24 seconds clear of Lewis HamiltonGeorge Russell third; Sergio Pérez fourth in Barcelona
Max Verstappen won the Spanish Grand Prix, delivering another dominant pole to flag victory for Red Bull, untroubled at the front of the field. However, behind him there was a resurgence for Mercedes and their newly redesigned car with Lewis Hamilton claiming second place and his teammate George Russell in third, a great run from 12th on the grid. Sergio Pérez also came back for Red Bull to take fourth from 11th on the grid, with Carlos Sainz in fifth for Ferrari and Lance Stroll in sixth for Aston Martin.
Verstappen was unchallenged in another crushing victory, a full 24 seconds clear of Hamilton after a race in which he had left the rest of the field behind within five laps and never surrendered his lead from pole. The win extends Verstappen’s lead in the world championship over Pérez to 53 points.
