Red Bull double at the Formula 1 Spanish GP with Verstappen winning the race in front of his teammate Perez . A victory that is also worth overtaking in the world rankings against Leclerc that while he was largely in the lead & egrave; He was forced to retire due to engine problems in his car. The Dutchman, therefore, closed the GP at the top of the drivers' championship standings. Verstappen never had the pace of a Ferrari driver, he also made a mistake and had to deal with some problems like the DRS that didn't work well.

In short, if it wasn't for the problems of the Ferrari, the victory would not have come. But the races are so, unpredictable until the end. With the unexpected double win, Red Bull overtakes Ferrari even in the constructors' classification. Third step of the podium for a George Russell which brought Mercedes to a good level of competitiveness. Behind Rusell could have been Hamilton but a contact on the first lap forced the Englishman to the pits to change tires, with an obvious loss of time. Hamilton , therefore, had to settle for fifth place after, however, a good comeback.

Mercedes seems to have significantly improved performance. We will see if it will be; so & igrave; also in the next GPs. Disappointment in the Ferrari house and not only because & eacute; Leclerc si & egrave; he had to retire when he was leading. Sainz , in fact, had to settle for fourth place without ever having a very fast pace. Sixth position for a Bottas who with his Alfa Romeo managed to occupy even better positions during the race. An imperfect pit strategy forced the Finn to settle for sixth place. A positive result, however, given that Alfa Romeo & egrave; was ahead of the Alpine and McLaren.

The 29 May will be held in Monaco , a very complex and difficult race. Given the trend of the calendar it will be; very interesting to follow the race. It is clear, however, that if Ferrari wants to try to win the World Championship, it still has to work hard especially to solve some reliability problems.
