After a strategically exciting
Spanish Grand Prix,
Lewis Hamilton has achieved his third win this season.
Max Verstappen, in turn, takes his third second place finish of his 2021 season. There isn't much that distinguishes the two drivers and that is well reflected in the driver standings, where the two are separate from the rest of the field.
Hamilton already has twice as many points as
Valtteri Bottas and Verstappen in turn twice as many as his teammate
Sergio Perez. Bottas' third place in Barcelona meant that he took over the third place in the standings from
Lando Norris. Norris is now in fourth place, a single point ahead of
Charles Leclerc.
Behind him is Sergio Perez, who has not had a great start to his time at
Red Bull Racing.
Daniel Ricciardo seems to have slowly found his rhythm and is gaining steam at
McLaren. He is in seventh place after the
Spanish Grand Prix. In Barcelona there were no drivers who could get rid of the 0-score, so there are still seven drivers without points.
