Max Verstappen wins Spanish GP as Lewis Hamilton result makes Mercedes' situation clear

The fight for Spanish Grand Prix victory might have been very exciting if Max Verstappen didn't exist. But he does – and it's clear there's no-one on the Formula 1 grid who can touch him.

From the moment the lights went out in Barcelona, it was clear the victory was his. The real excitement came with the fight to be best of the rest, and it was a battle won by Lewis Hamilton on an excellent day that Mercedes have waited a long time for.

George Russell finished third behind him with both Brits really finding a rhythm with their cars. This race was the first test of how much of a difference the W14's upgrades have made and, on this evidence, the switch back to a conventional sidepod design appears to be working wonders.
