Verstappen gets another point

Max Verstappen led the Spanish Grand Prix for a long time but had to relinquish the lead to Lewis Hamilton with less than ten laps to go. The Brit opted for a strategy with two pitstops and arrived in time to attack the Dutchman. The Dutchman was a sitting duck on his old tyres.

Victory was out of the question, but Verstappen dived in for a set of soft tyres to set the fastest lap of the race. He fought it out with Valtteri Bottas, and the Dutchman won. Watch the lap that Verstappen did here.
