2022 Spanish Grand Prix

16h

Thank you all for following this live text from the Great of Spain. Next meeting, in a week, for the Monaco Grand Prix for the seventh meeting of the season.

T66

Pérez recovers the point for the best lap. “We have to talk afterwards”, the Mexican seems annoyed by the strategy at Red Bull and his role as second driver. 

16h

T66

Max Verstappen wins in Barcelona ahead of Pérez and Russell. It's another double for Red Bull. The Dutchman wins for the second time in Catalonia and takes the opportunity to take control of the general classification! 

T65

Risk of abandonment for Hamilton! The Briton has to slow down and Sainz doubles him! Terrible disappointment for Hamilton. 

T63

T63

“It's not fair but okay,” Pérez still had a little difficulty accepting Red Bull's strategy but he didn't flinch. 

T60

Hamilton drops Sainz at the end of the straight! Incredible comeback from the Briton in 4th. Without his contact with Magnussen, Hamilton could have aimed higher, what a shame. 

T59

Three-way battle for 4th place. Bottas is on the wrong track with his used tires. Sainz passes him and Lewis does the same. 

T57

Pérez signs the fastest lap and recovers the point from Lewis Hamilton. The Mexican fulfilled all his tasks and should be satisfied with his second place and this fast lap in Barcelona. 

T55

Schumacher, who has already completed the first Q3 of his career in Spain, could score his first points. The German is currently 9th ahead of Alonso! 

T54

The degradation of the tires is significant in Barcelona, ​​the drivers are making more stops, it is Ocon who is returning to the garages. Pérez follows him and comes out in front of Russell. 

T52

Russell stops in the pits to put on soft tires, Bottas takes advantage and passes in front of the Mercedes. 

T51

Verstappen leads the Grand Prix under the eyes of Maldonado, Williams' last winner in F1.

T49

It's done, Pérez steps aside to let Verstappen pass at turn 4. The Mexican carries out the team's orders and finds himself 2nd. Verstappen thanks his teammate

T48

Lewis Hamilton comes back to Bottas, what self-sacrifice from the Briton who will perhaps finish 4th. We are preparing for Verstappen's return to 1st place by reminding Pérez that he is on a different strategy. The Mexican will certainly move aside to let Verstappen pass. 

T46

For the moment, it is Fernando Alonso who is performing the best operation, gaining 11 places in Barcelona. In front of his audience, the Spaniard is on fire

T45

Verstappen's tires are starting to deteriorate significantly! The World Champion goes through the pits and comes out just in front of Russell. The Grand Prix is ​​not over! 

T44

The problem encountered by Leclerc has still not been identified by Ferrari. The weekend turned into a nightmare for the Scuderia, 1st and 3rd on the starting grid. The Reds only have one car left in 5th position

T41

The pace drops in Spain and Verstappen seems to be moving towards another victory which would also allow him to take the lead in the championship ahead of Leclerc.
