Max Verstappen at the center of a question and answer that could be sensational, here’s what they said
There Formula 1 also archives the tenth Grand Prix of the season. In Spain he triumphed Max Verstappen who took home his seventh victory of the year ahead of Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton. An exciting race with lots of overtaking, twists and turns and the strategy that is now a trademark of Formula 1. The duel between Lando Norris and George Russell, who finished in fourth place, was spectacular.
And the Ferrari? Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz finished in fifth and sixth place, a race far from what the two reds had shown us in the last period, but at least an improvement compared to last weekend, in Canada, where both Leclerc and Sainz were retreat before the end. Great growth, again, for the McLarens especially with Lando Norris who pays for the superiority, especially in strategy, of the Red Bull, but confirms himself once again as the only one who can try to beat Verstappen. Excellent result for Hamilton who returns to the podium after 12 Grands Prix.
