Mercedes
driver Lewis Hamilton easily won the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday for
his second straight Formula One victory, increasing his championship
lead over Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel.
Valtteri
Bottas secured a one-two for Mercedes at the Circuit de
Barcelona-Catalunya, while Max Verstappen completed the podium despite
finishing the race with a broken front wing on his Red Bull.
Vettel, who now trails Hamilton by 17 points in the drivers' standings,
was only fourth after a change in strategy didn't pay off.
