Lewis Hamilton beats Sebastian Vettel in thrilling Spanish GP battle
Catalunya [14 May 2017]
Lewis Hamilton caught and passed Sebastian Vettel to win a thrilling Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona and reduce his championship deficit to six points after five rounds.
After racing each other by proxy for the first four grands prix, Hamilton and Vettel finally went wheel-to-wheel for the lead in Spain and the resulting race did not disappoint. The race swung back and forth between the two, with Vettel beating Hamilton off the line before Mercedes brought Hamilton back into the race on an alternate strategy.
Hamilton still had to do his passing on the track, however, and did so on lap 44 with a move around the outside of Turn 1. Six laps earlier the pair had banged wheels as Vettel emerged from his first pit stop alongside Hamilton, but both drivers were happy to joke about the incident after the chequered flag. It was also a race in which Mercedes and Ferrari both lost a car to retirement, allowing Daniel Ricciardo to take third for Red Bull despite finishing 72 seconds off the pace of the front two.
