- Red Bull driver finishes a place ahead of teammate Sergio Pérez
- George Russell takes third; Lewis Hamilton battles to fifth
Max Verstappen won an incident-packed Spanish Grand Prix for Red Bull after fighting through technical problems, coming back for a crucial victory in front of his teammate Sergio Pérez. In a dramatic race in Barcelona where Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc retired with a loss of power, it ensured his world championship lead has disappeared, with Verstappen now on top in what is a tooth and nail fight.
Britain’s George Russell put in a superb performance to return third place for Mercedes while his teammate Lewis Hamilton managed an exellent recovery to fifth having dropped to 19th after an opening lap incident. Carlos Sainz was fourth for Ferrari.
