Max Verstappen Wins In Spain


 
 
Max Verstappen Wins In Spain
 

Max Verstappen becomes youngest F1 winner in history at Spanish Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen became the youngest winner in Formula One history when he triumphed on his Red Bull debut in Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix.

Verstappen had been branded a future world champion almost as soon as he entered the sport and no one doubts that now.

When Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg crashed out of the race on the opening lap it seemed that certain that that would remain the talking point for the rest of the day. But in the absence of the Mercedes we had a proper car race.

Verstappen, 18 years and 227 days old, also became the first Dutch winner as he pushed the Ferrari pair of Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastan Vettel into second and third place; Daniel Ricciardo suffered a puncture on the penultimate lap but still hobbled over the line in fourth.

Vettel, who was the previous youngest driver after winning the Italian Grand Prix in 2008, said: “This is Max’s day. As a sportsman we must respect that.

Verstappen only became a Red Bull driver this month. He was promoted to the team from Toro Rosso, replacing Daniil Kvyat, who had had an unhappy start to the season.

He said afterwards: “It feels amazing. I can’t believe it. It was a great race. I have to say thank you to the team for giving me such a great car.

“To win in the first race is such an amazing feeling. My dad helped me a lot to achieve this, this is amazing. I couldn’t believe I was leading the race. I held onto the tyres. We had the right strategy. It’s a very big surprise. I had quite a bit of pressure from Kimi but it is difficult to overtake here.”

Verstappen led for the final 32 of the 66 laps. His two-stop strategy proved a winner but he finished just 0.6 seconds ahead of Raikkonen, who put him under sustained pressure. Raikkonen, who has now overtaken Hamilton in the championship, added: “The really scary thing is that I used to race against his father [Jos].”
