Daniel Ricciardo secured a gutsy victory against the odds at the Monaco Grand Prix after grappling with power unit issues for two thirds of the 78-lap race.

The Red Bull driver led from start to finish, but on lap 27 reported a loss of power that allowed Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari to close in on the back of his car.
A series of switch changes on Ricciardo's steering wheel helped manage the issue, while Vettel also suffered his own problems when his steering wheel display went blank on lap 39.

Despite the loss of power, Ricciardo maintained a one second lead, safe in the knowledge that overtaking at Monaco requires a significant pace advantage.

Lewis Hamilton eases to Spain win, Max Verstappen beats Sebastian Vettel to third.

Lewis Hamilton led a comfortable Mercedes one-two at the Spanish Grand Prix, as Max Verstappen beat Sebastian Vettel to the final step of the podium.

As soon as Hamilton led into Turn 1 his victory did not appear to be in doubt, with the Mercedes able to open up a comfortable gap to the chasing Vettel behind. Vettel had beaten Valtteri Bottas into the first corner and stayed ahead after the first round of pit-stops, but Ferrari's decision to stop for a second set of medium tyres in the final stint ultimately relegated him to fourth.

It capped off a disappointing afternoon for Ferrari, who saw Kimi Räikkönen retire after suffering a loss of power with a brand new engine which had been fitted to his car on Saturday morning.

It could prove a pivotal race in Spain, with Márquez taking the win as Lorenzo, Dovi and Pedrosa all collide.

Reigning Champion Marc Márquez (Repsol Honda Team) took a stunning second win of the season – and his second win at Jerez – in the Gran Premio Red Bull de España, fighting to the front and just able to pull away into clear air, away from some huge drama that then hit the race behind.

In a pivotal day in the Championship, an unbelievable racing incident saw Jorge Lorenzo (Ducati Team), teammate Andrea Dovizioso and Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda Team) all crash out in one go at Turn 6 – with Johann Zarco (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) and Andrea Iannone (Team Suzuki Ecstar) then coming through to complete the podium.
