Spanish GP: Race - Re-Cap & Results

Another race down and now 2 weeks until one of the biggest races on the F1 Calendar: Monaco! - I hope you all enjoyed yesterday's Spanish GP. It was a good one, despite it being a bit slow with not many people able to pass.

Hamilton drove to the top, taking his 4th consecutive win this season. His team-mate, Nico Rosberg once again came in Second and Daniel Ricciardo rounded up the podium in 3rd, finally getting his first real podium after a fuel flow limit breech had him disqualified from his 2nd place Finish in Australia.

McLaren struggled again, unable to find a pace to take them into the points, Jenson just missing out, as he finished in 11th, while Magnussen finished right behind him in 12th. Sauber was also having problems with the cars, even after improvements they made over the week.

Vergne retired early on with an exhaust problem and Kobayashi experienced brake failure, causing him to retire as well. Someone who nearly had a retirement was Marcus Ericsson when Pastor Maldonado cut him off and nearly slammed into the Caterham. Pastor recieved his 4th penalty point after the race and he was given a 5-Second-Drive-Through-Penalty during the race.

Overall, it was a good race for Force India, who finished with double points again and also for Romain Grosjean who finished the race without an accident and got points as well.

Now, on to the results!
