Max Verstappen won the Spanish Grand Prix. Joining the Red Bull driver on the podium were Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton who crossed the line in second and third position, respectively.

What happened during the Spanish GP?

All drivers are starting the race on soft tires apart from Alex Albon in the Williams who is starting on medium tires from the pit lane.

Lap 1: A fantastic start For George Russell who takes the lead after starting the race from fourth. Lando Norris, who started from pole position, loses out and moves down to third. It looks as though Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz had contact at Turn 1 but it seems minimal as both drivers continue.

Lap 2: Max Verstappen, running in second, is keeping close to George Russell.

Lap 3: Max Verstappen takes the lead of the race as he overtakes George Russell with DRS.

Lap 5: Carlos Sainz overtakes his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc to take fifth position. However, the pair have slight contact. They are able to continue.

Lap 9: Fernando Alonso looks as though he suffered from damage at the start of the race as he ran wide. After starting the race from tenth position, he is now in fourteenth position.

Lap 10: Zhou Guanyu and Yuki Tsunoda are the first drivers to head into the pits. The switch to medium tire compounds.

Lap 18: Max Verstappen pits from the lead with an incredible 1.9-second stop! Lando Norris takes the lead of the race.

Lap 24: Lando Norris now pits from the lead. He has extended the first stint by 6 laps. It is anticipated that this is in the hopes he can extend the current stint by the same amount meaning he can have more fresh soft tires at the end of the race.
