The step-by-step story of how Lando Norris' Spanish GP miss played out under the VSC
Kimi Antonelli prevailed in the Spanish Grand Prix, Formula 1's first race at the Madring, as polesitter Lando Norris ' race was derailed by strategy.
Norris comfortably pulled away in the early stages of the race, but he pitted right after a virtual safety car intervention, which pegged him so far back that he lost the victory.
Pirelli predicted a 2.31m difference between soft and medium tyres at the start, so it was interesting for second-row starters Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton to pick the red-walled compound, unlike polesitter Norris and Antonelli alongside him.
Hamilton did take a better launch but ran out of space to launch an attack into Turn 1, after which (mild) chaos ensued. Both Antonelli and Verstappen cut Turn 2, but while the Mercedes driver handed the lead back to Norris straight away (and did so again in the next sequence of corners), his Red Bull counterpart retained the advantage over the Ferrari .
Verstappen staunchly argued that he'd had to take evasive action due to Hamilton's unruly driving, but Red Bull was adamant he should make sure to avoid a penalty, so Verstappen let Antonelli - whom he was now leading - and Hamilton by on lap four.
Seconds later, the seven-time world champion started complaining about braking issues. He started losing pace on lap five, went off the track on lap six, and retired after being repeatedly asked to pit.
On lap 10, Norris led Antonelli by five seconds, Verstappen by 11s, Charles Leclerc by 13s and George Russell by 15s; Liam Lawson was a further 15 seconds in arrears, leading the 'midfield'.
