Max Verstappen recorded a dominant victory at the Spanish Grand Prix as Lewis Hamilton and George Russell finished second and third for Mercedes.
Verstappen led all 66 laps at Barcelona’s Circuit de Catalunya to record his fifth win from the opening seven rounds and extend his championship lead.
Hamilton started fourth but finished runner-up, with team-mate Russell completing the podium places on a strong afternoon for the Silver Arrows after recent changes.
Sergio Perez finished fourth after moving ahead of Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz with a dozen laps remaining. He was, however, unable to close the gap on Russell in third.
Lando Norris saw his race hopes ended quickly after colliding with Hamilton at Turn Two in what was a hugely disappointing day for the Briton.
Verstappen’s title lead over his Red Bull team-mate Perez now stands at 53 points with a week off before the next round in Canada on June 18.
