Max Verstappen has won the Spanish Grand Prix, securing his seventh victory of the 2024 season and extending his championship lead. Verstappen's win marks his third consecutive victory at the Spanish GP and his 61st career win at just 26 years old. Lando Norris finished in second place, continuing a strong run for McLaren, while Lewis Hamilton secured third place, ending his 238-day podium drought and achieving his 198th career podium. The top ten also included George Russell in fourth, Charles Leclerc in fifth, and Carlos Sainz in sixth. Verstappen's victory was achieved despite a strategic battle and pressure from Norris, who closed the gap to just over 2 seconds in the final laps.
