Verstappen’s team mate Sergio Perez came home in P2 to make it Red Bull’s second one-two finish of the season, ahead of a battling George Russell in P3.
Like Verstappen, home favourite Carlos Sainz also went off into the gravel at Turn 4 but recovered to finish in P4, ahead of a flying Lewis Hamilton in P5. Hamilton recovered all the way from P19, after a collision with Kevin Magnussen on the opening lap left the Mercedes driver with a left-front puncture. Fernando Alonso recovered from starting at the back of the grid to take P9 in his home race.
