Formula 1 Gran Premio de Espana
Pirelli 2016 served up a battle royal between Red Bull and Ferrari, with Max
Verstappen becoming the youngest F1 winner in history as he took an amazing
victory from Kimi Raikkonen in his very first race with his new team.
It came after Mercedes Nico Rosberg
and Lewis Hamilton had dramatically collided into retirement on lap 1 in an
incident which the stewards are investigating. Verstappen, aged just 18, held
off relentless pressure from Raikkonen in the closing laps, while behind them
Ferrari Sebastian Vettel did the same from the Sister Red Bull of Daniel
Ricciardo, until the Australian right rear tyre deflated just a lap from home.
Ricciardo came home fourth nonetheless,
followed by William Valtteri Bottas, Toro Rosso Carlos Sainz and Force India
Sergio Perez. Williams Felipe Massa, McLaren Jenson Button and Toro Rosso
Daniil Kvyat completed the top ten. The Mercedes aside, there were just three
other retirements. Nico Hulkenberg pulled off with flames licking from the rear
of his Force India on lap 22, Fernando Alonso home race ended with power loss
on his McLaren on lap 47, and Romain Grosjean brought his Haas into the Garage
on lap 58.
