Did Max Verstappen win the Spanish Grand Prix or did Charles Leclerc lose it?

If it is true that the Dutchman of Red Bull was good at seizing the favorable moment - despite the excursion in the sand - to take advantage of the failure of the Ferrari power unit, it is equally undeniable that before that technical problem Leclerc was dominating in the race , after doing the same in qualifying.

Despite this, the stage balance is negative for the Red, especially if he looks at the numbers after the first six races of the F1 world championship.



Verstappen has retired twice this year, but has won all the GPs he has finished.

And while earlier reliability had been the big question mark about Red Bull - and in part it still is - since Sunday it is Ferrari that has had to ask itself questions, albeit without excessive alarmism.

Because if the retirement of Leclerc - who arrives in his Principality no longer leader of the drivers' classification - has thwarted the work of Maranello, several positive aspects have also emerged.

Starting with the fact that, up to that moment, the F1-75 had proven to be the fastest single-seater on the track at Montmelò, starting with the beautiful start.



And on a track that Mattia Binotto called "often a black beast" for Ferrari.

Leclerc spoke of "many positive signs" because in Spain the team experienced the first major package of updates and everything worked as expected.

Although it is not an easy car to drive, with a certain tendency to oversteer - which almost seems to amuse the Monegasque, while Carlos Sainz does not like it - Ferrari excelled in the medium and low speed corners of Barcelona.

Therefore, it should also be strong in Munich.
