The world champion didn't have any problems to defend his first place from the start

Max Verstappen had yet another uneventful race as he started and finished first in the Spanish Grand Prix.

The Dutchman didn’t lose the lead for even a single lap and cruised to another 25 points for the championship.


Mercedes also had a great race and put both their cars on the podium. Lewis Hamilton got his best finish so far this season in 2nd, while George Russell managed to put Sergio Perez at bay and got 3rd.

Fifth was Carlos Sainz who started on the front row, but his Ferrari car used the tires a lot more than everyone else and had to make early pits, which dropped him down the order.

With his win Verstappen now have 170 points in front of Sergio Perez with 115.
