Max Verstappen insisted he "knew" he could record the fastest lap of the Spanish Grand Prix without risking a penalty, despite being advised against it by his Red Bull team.
The Dutchman recorded a Grand Slam in Barcelona – the third of his Formula 1 career so far. He qualified on pole, won the race by leading every lap and, towards the end, recorded the fastest lap of the race.
He had been advised against attempting that last part. After all, he had been shown a black and white flag for repeatedly exceeding track limits during the race.
