39: Spanish GP: Two-Stop Races Won't Always Be A Belter!
from Inside Line F1 Podcast · host Inside Line F1 Podcast
At the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix, the heat and tyres were expected to halt Mercedes' dominant run once again. However, Mercedes-Hamilton delivered their strongest performance of the season to further their championship advantage. The race was also proof that two-stop races won't always be a belter! Such has been Mercedes' form in the 2020 Formula 1 season, that Max Verstappen finishing second in a race is definitely an over-achievement. The 2020 Spanish Grand Prix was no different - as Hamilton led from the start to score yet another dominant win, Verstappen snucked into P2 at Turn 1. Valtteri Bottas' chase could go only as far as P3 while Sebastian Vettel exposed Ferrari's race management abilities yet again.
