"It's a big pleasure to drive with a car like this. The man who took the first grand prix win of his career at the Spanish circuit in 2016 and also triumphed last year, secured the bonus point for fastest lap to cap a day of domination.
The victory was Verstappen's fifth of the season, third in a row, third in Spain and the double world champion's 40th in Formula One. Red Bull's Sergio Perez, Verstappen's closest rival in a season that looks sure to crown the dominant Dutch 25-year-old for a third time, finished fourth after fighting back from 11th at the start. Seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton was second for Mercedes, but 24.09 seconds behind, with team mate George Russell completing the podium on a cloudy but dry afternoon at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya. Max Verstappen won the Spanish Grand Prix from pole position on Monday to stretch his Formula One lead to 53 points and continue Red Bull's sweep of the season with the team's seventh success in as many races.
