Fred Vasseur was confident that Charles Leclerc could’ve won the Spanish Grand Prix if an incident had disrupted the latter stages of the race, with the Ferrari Team Principal believing that “the potential is there” for the team. Leclerc qualified fifth and gained an early position from the retirement of his team mate Lewis Hamilton, but unlike those around him, he and the team opted not to pit for fresh tyres when the Virtual Safety Car was deployed....

Oscar Piastri had a race to forget in Madrid after a first lap incident derailed his afternoon on a day where Lando Norris showed the McLaren had the pace to fight for the win. The Australian finished down in eighth place, behind the Alpine of Franco Colapinto, and while the unlucky timing of the Virtual Safety Car prevented his team mate from fighting for the win, Piastri had his own slice of misfortune....

Toto Wolff has explained how Mercedes need to work with George Russell to “unleash his potential” after he endured another setback in the title fight in Madrid, with team mate Kimi Antonelli outscoring him once again. Russell was open about his struggles with tyre degradation over the weekend at the new circuit, which contributed to him missing out on the fight for pole position and settling for sixth place in Qualifying....

Liam Lawson believes “overall it’s been a strong three weekends” with Red Bull since replacing the injured Isack Hadjar midway through the season. The Kiwi made his third start for Red Bull this season in last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, and achieved his best result since swapping his Racing Bulls machine by finishing sixth. Lawson was one of the few drivers to make an overtake on the Madring street circuit, before making a late pit stop to claim his second points finish with Red Bull, having finished seventh in the Netherlands....

Laurent Mekies has explained Red Bull’s decision after the team told Max Verstappen to give back places at the start of the Spanish Grand Prix. The four-time World Champion tangled with Lewis Hamilton after lights out at the start of the race in Madrid, as the Ferrari driver got ahead before Verstappen kept his P3 starting position, but only after cutting the first turn. The Dutchman said on the radio that Hamilton “almost shunted him” and tried to resist team instructions to give the place back to avoid a potential penalty, especially after he had since overtaken Kimi Antonelli for P2....

Another race weekend and another masterclass from Kimi Antonelli, who won the Spanish Grand Prix in its first edition at the Madring. An element of luck in the Virtual Safety Car timing allowed the Mercedes driver to move past McLaren’s Lando Norris, while a pit stop under the VSC also benefited Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, who finished second behind the Italian youngster. It was a solid race for Charles Leclerc of Ferrari, finishing fourth after leading the race for more than 30 laps, but home hero Carlos Sainz had to retire his Williams, while another Spaniard, Fernando Alonso of Aston Martin, finished only in 17th place....

McLaren Team Principal Andrea Stella has explained why McLaren opted to pit Lando Norris for fresh tyres just as the Virtual Safety Car period came to an end, admitting that “there was no option to retain the lead” of the Spanish Grand Prix. With overtaking set to be a challenge at the Madring, Norris had already put himself in a strong position to chase down a potential third victory of the season as he topped Qualifying with a memorable last-gasp effort....

Mercedes Kimi Antonelli got a great start from P2, but when challenging for the lead cut the apex of the corner and was forced to cede position. His attempts to do so were messy and he briefly fell behind Verstappen until the Dutchman had to do the same thing. That left Antonelli second, a few seconds behind race leader Norris. But when the Italian got a cheap pit stop under the VSC, he became the de facto leader and from there he kept his race pretty clean to take his eighth win of the year....

Mercedes boss Toto Wolff has backed the decision to bring George Russell into the pits twice during the Spanish Grand Prix after the strategy choice was questioned by the driver during the race. The Briton made two stops during Sunday’s event at the Madring on his way to a fifth-placed finish - firstly to change onto a new set of medium tyres during the Virtual Safety Car period and then again onto the hard tyre....

Kimi Antonelli claimed his eighth win of the season at the Spanish Grand Prix, the Mercedes driver extending his points lead in the title race as Formula 1 made its first visit to the Madring. Although the Italian came out on top on the streets of Madrid, Lando Norris lost a potential victory due to an ill-timed Virtual Safety Car, while Lewis Hamilton’s race was over almost before it started after brake problems....

Let’s take a look at the numbers… Mercedes Qualifying: Russell 6-8 Antonelli Race: Russell 4-10 Antonelli Perhaps unsurprisingly given his hold on the top spot in the Drivers' Championship, Kimi Antonelli has also taken the lead when it comes to the head-to-head statistics at Mercedes....

Lance Stroll hit the brakes for Turn 20 and the pedal went to the floor. His race was over on Lap 13. Little did he know, however, that his brake failure had just cost Lando Norris a shot at victory too. Stroll’s stranded Aston Martin required a Virtual Safety Car to be cleared from the run-off area and Norris had just past pit exit to start Lap 14 when it was called, but Kimi Antonelli was there just in time to capitalise....
