Formula 1 in Spain: Hamilton wins in Barcelona

Sebastian Vettel has retained the formula 1-lang hamlet of Barcelona, an All-or-Nothing tactics, at least before the second crash into the no-man's land. The four-time world champion attempted a daring One-stop strategy to save at least a few points on Sunday in the Grand Prix of Spain, and landed at the end of the fourth victory of the Season in the sixth race of the title holder and championship leader Lewis Hamilton in seventh place. Team-mate Charles Leclerc managed to be in Ferrari not even to the finish due to an electrical problem.

the Front of Hamilton celebrated his 88. Career victory. The Mercedes driver pointed out in an unspectacular race at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya title rival Max Verstappen by Red Bull, in second place, and third in the world Cup third Valtteri Bottas was.

Vettel survived the Start in the middle of the field from eleventh place, after all, without prejudice. Places in the midfield driver in his Ferrari degraded German as could not make but still. Vettel had not, however, leave the slightly harder mix to raise that is so fast, but more durable. With a slightly cloudy sky, but a higher asphalt temperature, it was once more on the right tyre management. It was also, and especially, in the case of Verstappen, who had exploited last Sunday, the massive problems of the two Mercedes with the bubbles on the tires and the race won. Start place behind Hamilton and Bottas. The Friday training, however, had shown that the Red Bull is arrows over the race distance on par with the still black-painted Silver.

Hamilton, a clean Start was, the 35-year-old Briton defended the 92. Pole of his career scores. Quite different to Bottas: The 30-year-old Finn, who can use a year ago the Pole to victory, was fall of verse and Lance Stroll, Racing Point obsolete. The Mercedes Duo of blasted, even if Bottas was the first to place three ancestors. Good for Verstappen, could perpetuate four years ago in Spain as the youngest Grand Prix winner of the formula 1. Verstappen remained in sight, the 22-year-old Dutchman would not be fooled. Hamilton drive at the front "super slow," he radioed to his Box. As the Briton turned up something, grew the lead promptly in about five seconds.

The course was his reputation as a race track, very hard to obsolete it can be, once again meet. Action on the track failed to display. Vettel should benefit from the change tires first, as the Eleventh, he had had a free choice of the rubber and was able to stay longer out there than some of the rivals. In round 30 of 66 rounds, Vettel's team mate Leclerc, then new tires, which were quite soft at the end. The slightly harder of Vettel surprising, however.

The 33-year-old Heppenheimer also came in and was sent with the softest mixture back to the track 14th. So that was actually clear that Vettel would have to come clean. Or? The reasons were initially unclear. Team boss Mattia Binotto, however, had previously stressed in an Interview with the "Bild am Sonntag" said: "We will help him wherever possible. We are to Sebastian, as he is also to Ferrari and our whole team at the track.“ He also said: "I understand that in Germany a lot now about alleged tensions between him and us was written, but this is all total bullshit."
