A pit-stop master-stoke sees the Mercedes driver outwit Red Bull’s Verstappen
Seven-times World champion Lewis Hamilton hunted down “sitting duck” Max Verstappen to win the Spanish Grand Prix for a record-equalling fifth year in a row on Sunday and go 14 points clear at the top. Hamilton’s 98th victory, from his 100th pole, was his third in four races as he and Mercedes played the strategy to perfection after Red Bull’s Verstappen had muscled into the lead at the first corner. The Briton pitted for fresh tyres and was set the task of closing a 22 second gap to Verstappen in 23 laps at the Circuit de Catalunya.More Related News
