After qualifying in the pole position, Max Verstappen put on an extraordinary drive and won the Spanish GP. He has a 53-point lead over closest championship rival and teammate Sergio Perez. Red Bull has swept all seven victories of the season so far, with Max winning 5 of them.

Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz who started on the front row alongside Max Verstappen, tried to gain the race’s lead, but it was to no avail.
