Lewis Hamilton wins Spanish Grand Prix with a dominant performance.
The reigning champion started on pole and went on to hold and maintain the position all through to the final lap.
It was the Brit’s 88th win in the sport and one of his best performances ever.
The solid performance extended his championship advantage to 37 points and took him within three victories of Michael Schumacher’s record of 91.
He controlled the pace to preserve his tyres while still being able to keep Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in second.
Verstappen had pushed himself up a place at the start after lining up third on the grid.
Valtteri Bottas, who started second, made a timid beginning, braking early and going back to fourth. Five laps later, he passed Racing Post’s Lance Stroll to climb into third place, where he finished.
Hamilton can meet and surpass the all-time record set by Michael Schumacher in Mugello on September 13 – the occasion of Ferrari’s 1,000th grand prix.
