HIGHLIGHTS: Watch the action from the Spanish GP as Piastri wins while Verstappen and Russell collide

Oscar Piastri delivered a masterful performance to win the Spanish Grand Prix, navigating a race heavily influenced by strategic decisions and a late Safety Car deployment. The Australian McLaren driver executed a flawless start from pole position, maintaining control throughout and deftly managing tire wear and traffic. His victory was solidified by a late-race Safety Car, triggered by Kimi Antonelli's mechanical failure, which saw a flurry of pit stops among the frontrunners. This allowed Piastri to extend his lead and comfortably secure his fifth win of the season. Max Verstappen, opting for a three-stop strategy and encountering a controversial collision with George Russell, ultimately dropped to P10 after a penalty. Meanwhile, Russell managed P4, and Nico Hulkenberg impressed with a strong P5, overtaking Lewis Hamilton. The race also saw points for Isack Hadjar, Pierre Gasly, and Fernando Alonso, while Carlos Sainz endured a difficult home race without scoring.
