Lewis Hamilton made last minute changes to win Spanish Grand Prix and took back the championship lead by seven points from team-mate Valtteri Bottas after beating the Finn away from the line and dominating the race.   

Hamilton build a 46 points ahead of the closest non-Mercedes driver, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, followed by Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc .

Alhtough Vettel got a great start and was three-wide with Hamilton and Bottas into the first corner, he had to back out and ran wide.

In previous years the Monaco track exposed the weakness of the Mercedes cars, but this year the Mercedes having added speed in slow corners to its unsurpassed pace in medium- and high-speed, pulled it off in Spain in the final sector, a group slow-speed corners.
