Max Verstappen eases to win in Spain Catalunya          [4 June 2023] Max Verstappen strengthened his already commanding F1 title lead with a dominant victory at the Spanish Grand Prix ahead of the Mercedes pair of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell. Verstappen's lead was only challenged at Turn 1, when Ferrari's Carlos Sainz got alongside him, but he cantered away into the distance after that. The reigning champion crossed the finish line 24 seconds clear of 2021 title rival Hamilton. Verstappen's victory was complete with the bonus point for fastest lap, moving him 53 points clear of Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez, meaning he could retire from the next two F1 races and still lead the championship.
