Regular start in the Formula 1 Spanish GP and Max Verstappen, starting from pole, immediately took the lead of the race with his Red Bull, evading the attack attempt of Carlos Sainz, second on the grid with Ferrari. A slight contact with Lewis Hamilton damaged the front wing of Lando Norris' McLaren, who was forced to return to the pits for a replacement. Charles Leclerc started from the pit lane and was forced to make a comeback.
