The two\u002Dtime defending champion started from pole position and never was challenged as he breezed to his fifth win.
The Dutchman had said before practice for the Barcelona race that while the Red Bull cars were fast and reliable enough to win every single race, he figured that “We will always have tracks where it doesn’t work out exactly, bad luck in qualifying, mistakes, whatever.”As expected given the superior speed of the Red Bull, the 66-lap race was largely decided in the 595-meter run from the starting line to Turn One.
Red Bull other driver, Sergio Perez, finished fourth after fighting his way up from 11th at the start. Perez won the two races Verstappen didn’t win this year. Esteban Ocon was eighth in an Alpine ahead of Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu and Pierre Gasly in the other Alpine to round out the top 10. Hamilton, a six-time winner in Spain, got past Sainz early on and never let go of the runner-up spot.Article content
