Red Bull's three-time world champion Max Verstappen won the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday from McLaren's pole-sitter Lando Norris to extend his lead in the world championship.
This was his 61st career win, seventh of the season, and fourth at the track where he first shot onto the F1 scene as a teenager in 2016. He was told by his race engineer"Might be our best opportunity Max" and the Dutch ace needed no second invitation, producing a beautiful pass to deprive Russell of the lead, surging over one second clear of the Briton, with Norris less than a second back.
A feisty Hamilton zipped past home hero Carlos Sainz's Ferrari and up to sixth at turn one, with contact between the pair. Russell promptly pitted as the race entered its business stage, Norris chipping way at Verstappen's lead.
