Hamilton won again, with good strategy and tyre management!
Final Result
Hamilton won the Spain GP, and he is leading the championship by 14 points now, three wins out of four races, with Max in second, the Season still unpredictable, who will win this year's tittle?
Verstappen who started in second in the grid, passed Hamilton in the first curve and stayed in the 1st position for many laps, almost until the end, when Mercedes with better strategy called Lewis to changed his tyres and later up beating the Dutch driver to assume the 1st position.
Bottas finished in 3rd, just ahead of the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc in 4th.
The other Red Bull of Sergio Perez finished in 5th, with a good race, the Mexican could do better if his start grid position wasn't at the eighth.
Riccardo from McLaren did a nice job as well, finishing in 6th, two positions ahead of his team mate Lando Norris, who finished in 8th, in between them, it was Carlos Sainz with his Ferrari, the Spanish driver was consistent enough during the race, presenting a good performance.
Esteban Ocon finished in 9th with his Alpine and Pierre Gasly with a good recovery race, finishing in 10th.
Well, Verstappen at least got the reward of 1 point for the 2021 DHL Fastest Lap Award, not letting Hamilton staying too far in the Drivers standings.
