Verstappen reigned supreme in the Ferrari drama and he was already the leader of the World Cup

mad. That’s how he used to be Spanish F1 GP. Racial favoritism has passed from hand to hand like hot potatoes that no one wants in an unexpected career. Before the race Verstappen, who started second, seems to be the favorite due to his lower tire degradation against Leclerc (pole) and Sainz (3rd). But this Sunday’s exam left no room for reason. It’s a series of surprises, theatrical blow after theatrical blow, changing with every moment what sanity dictates. The crowded stand of Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya They experienced a show that matched their enthusiasm, desire, passion and drive. At least 121,667 spectators witnessed the magic of F1. It’s worth enduring 37 degrees and the strong sun for hours for fans to enjoy a race where it’s impossible to make pools and where nothing can be ignored. Won Verstappen, the new World Cup leader with a 6 -point advantage over Leclerc, left. Third straight win for Max, in front of Perez (2nd), Russell (3rd), Hamilton (4th) and Sainz (5th). And he also won F1 because of the emotion seen on the track.

charles leclerc I started with the pole with a very clear idea. He’s just the favorite of the new tire and this should allow him to start better and have more speed in the first stint. Monegasque is worried about his further deterioration. He had to throw the start to have options. It was like his day. Sainz, from third position, was stuck at the start and went to fifth place. As if that wasn’t enough, the Spaniard said goodbye to victory when he experienced a rotation on turn 4, on lap 6, into the gravel, although he was able to keep going. And two laps later, on lap 8, Max Verstappen An excursion was marked on that same curve and he went from second to fourth position, something that seemed to open doors of glory to Leclerc.

Everyone seemed in favor for Leclerc, but he left

The scenario is perfect for Charles, escaping, without problems and without mistakes, along with his two main opponents for victory. Pérez passes Max so that from the third position, on fire, he can attack Russell. But then came another surprise. Verstappen suffered problems with DRS and unreachable Russell. And the cover of Mercedeswhich is slower than Maxgave more wings to Charles.

However, the film will change forever. “I’m losing power,” he said in disbelief on the radio. Charles Leclerc in turn 26, when Russell he defends his position as a true champion against Max. The English favor came to nothing. Charles, chief of worldhad to retire to add his first 0 to the season.

Russell leads the fight Verstappen Y Perezbut Maxwith problems with DRS, did not attack the British of Mercedes. Noon noon red bull various strategies. Pérez radioed to give him a chance to try it because his DRS works. Verstappen he stopped and the Mexican flew to George. Verstappen then began a big stint with soft rubber that ended with an undercut book. Russell. The thing there is already decided: success will go to one of the red bull.

Perez left Verstappen

Despite the sixth race, red bull He showed at that moment, in case there was any doubt, that the number one priority was his world champion, Max Verstappenand his pursuit of Leclerc. Then came a clear message on the radio Czech. “It’s unfair, but I will.” We don’t know what would have happened without that message, but Milton Keynes acted thinking about what was best for them in front of the title. This is how Pérez allowed the world champion to pass on lap 49, with 17 laps remaining, which gave the victory to Max, but made it clear to everyone that he deserved that victory. Verstappenafter the race, Checo was praised for his friendship. “I’m happy for the team. Let’s talk later”said the Mexican for his part, a great team player.

Final thrill: Sainz overtook Hamilton on the final lap

Carlos Sainz finished 4th in front of his fans. He wanted to fight for his first win, but he couldn’t. After his poor start and the mistake on turn 4, he just had to think about getting the highest number of points at home. He made it fourth with emotion until the very end. He apparently got fifth place granted after not being able to defend himself against a Lewis Hamilton running with younger tires and less degradation after a great comeback in a career where Magnussen was caused damage to the starting car with a press.

But on the penultimate lap Lewis was warned he was in trouble and in danger of retiring. He slowed down and Carlos punched him to be fourth, inspiring the Montmeló public and erasing the laughter that could be seen on Lewis ’box faces because of the car’s beautification.

The Spanish driver was very aggressive from the start, where he got three positions in one go, 5 in two laps to place 15th. He continued relentlessly to come back from the top speed of his car against his rivals, eventually completing 8 overtakes in his first stint to 12th.

In a career of pure safety, with a lot of degradation due to heat and many stops, his three-stop approach and his error-free driving brought him to the final ninth spot.
