Mercedes pointed to Max Verstappen all weekend in Spain when asked about the favorite, but on Sunday it was Lewis Hamilton again who floated to the top. Robert Doornbos and Rob Kamphues discuss the race of the world champion.
"We have to talk about the living legend", starts Doornbos during Crashen in the Keuken. "Lewis was just playing with Max", is Kamphues' opinion. Hamilton started the GP of Spain still very quiet, but after a couple of laps he was on the gas anyway. At that moment Verstappen didn't come close anymore and the race was over.
Red Bull gets P2 as a present
''He has learned from Silverstone two, by handling his tyres in a slightly different way. He also has the best material and had no one before him. He played with Max, while Mercedes had Verstappen pushed as one of the the favourites'', says the former Formula 1 driver.
''Red Bull didn't have a chance in Spain. It was only because of Bottas' bad start that a P2 came rolling out, but of course also because Verstappen can drive that car home at that speed. That car is really difficult to drive, because we saw that again with Alexander Albon'', concludes Doornbos.
