Grand Prix d'Espagne F1 : Live - Nouvelles Du Monde

Key events

Lap 48/66: Verstappen is in for his third stop. The soft tyres are on …

McLaren are getting ready for the pit. Norris is heading in …

Lap 47/66: No the pit crew are back in the garage.
Ferrari are sending the staff to sort out Hamilton. It was a slow pit stop. Not a good experience for Hamilton who is now a long way behind Russell.

Lap 46/66: Red Bull are preparing for a pit stop … is it Verstappen?

Lap 45/66: At the front, Piastri is just over four seconds ahead of Norris.

Lap 44/66: Alonso pits and returns in 17th, Sainz is 16th. Not a great Spanish grand prix for the home favourites. The two swap places a Alonso overtakes.

Lap 43/66: Rosberg on comms points out how utterly unbearable it is to drive in these hot conditions. I am very much an air con man.

Lap 42/66: Russell pits and gets a new set of soft tyres, and exits in seventh.

Top eight

Oscar Piastri – McLaren
Lando Norris – McLaren
Max Verstappen – Red Bull
Lewis Hamilton – Ferrari
Charles Leclerc – Ferrari
Some Antonelli – Mercedes
George Russell – Mercedes
Isack Hadjar – Racing Bulls

Lap 41/66: Leclerc comes out on some lovely new tyres. He is in sixth but will fancy his chances of making headway.

Lap 40/66: Will this be a McLaren one-two? Red Bull are keeping Verstappen informed that the front two are having to push themselves.

Lap 39/66: Russell is cutting into Hamilton’s advantage over him as he looks to chase down his compatriot to take fifth.

Lap 38/66: Norris was eight-tenths quicker than Piastri on the most recent lap. The Brit is picking up some speed.

Lap 37/66: Norris is certainly listening to the garage has he has closed the gap on Piastri to just over three seconds.

Lap 36/66: Verstappen glides past Leclerc to move into third. He is looking quite lively at the moment and is around five seconds behind Norris in second.

Lap 35/66: Norris is told to go faster as McLaren are worried by Leclerc and Verstappen, but mainly the Dutchman.

Lap 34/66: Clive Osbourne emails: “Hello Will, I like your comments so far but I would appreciate a word or two about the Spanish drivers in this race, for the English/Spanish chappies such as myself.”

Alonso is 12th and Sainz is 13th. Not much to say about them thus far …

Lap 33/66: Verstappen has a little moan about the clutch to keep his team interested.

Lap 32/66: Lawson could be in line for a penalty here after that latest incident.

Lap 31/66: Piastri has opened up a five second gap on Norris.

Hamilton say he has no grip and the back is all over the place. This will be a tough final 30-odd laps.

Lawson and Bearman make contact. Lawson seems to think it’s dodgems today.

Lap 30/66: Verstappen pits! He comes back out in fourth, just about. Hamilton is just behind him.

Lap 29/66: Albon calls it off and retires because his car is rather damaged.

Lap 28/66: Albon has a 10-second time penalty and comes back out.

Verstappen says “it is so hard to drive”. He is not keeping this lead long.

Lap 27/66: Verstappen is around 4.6 seconds ahead. Supposedly he will aim for a three-stop race, if he could keep it down to two, maybe he would have a chance.

Lap 26/66: The stewards will have a look at an incident between Albon and Lawson.

Lap 25/66: Tsunoda enjoys his second pit already.

Lawson goes past Albon but there is a collision, causing debris to fly.

Lap 24/66: Almost everyone is on the medium now, except Verstappen.

Lap 23/66: PIastri is in and out of the pit … and he comes back out just behind Verstappen. That will not worry McLaren because the Red Bull tyres are old.

Current top six:

Max Verstappen – Red Bull
Oscar Piastri – McLaren
Lando Norris – McLaren
Charles Leclerc – Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton – Ferrari
George Russell – Mercedes

Lap 22/66: Norris is back out in third, around nine seconds behind Verstappen but with lovely fresher tyres. Verstappen, it should be said, is 17.5 seconds behind Piastri.
