Max Verstappen confirms his return as boss. The Dutchman won the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday June 23, two weeks after winning in Canada. The Red Bull driver had not won two consecutive races since April, with the fourth and fifth events on the calendar this season in Japan and China. He finished ahead of Lando Norris (McLaren) and Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes).
However, everything was not easy for Verstappen, who had to work hard until the end to contain the fury of Norris on the Barcelona track. Using an offbeat strategy, the author of pole position on Saturday pounced on his opponent at the end of the race, before failing two seconds behind the leader. Behind, Lewis Hamilton conquered the podium for the first time this season. Alpine confirms its return to form with Pierre Gasly (9e) and Esteban Ocon (10e) both in points.
Max Verstappen widens the gap at the top of the championship ahead of Charles Leclerc, 5e this Sunday and which sees Lando Norris back on his heels. Relive the race.
