The Mercedes team perfected a two-stop strategy, outsmarting championship rivals Red Bull for Hamilton's third victory of the season, with Australia's Daniel Ricciardo finishing sixth.

Lewis Hamilton extended his lead in the Formula One Drivers' Championship thanks to what he labelled a "good gamble" by his Mercedes team as he collected his sixth win in the Spanish Grand Prix.Mercedes were smarter with pit stops, guiding Lewis Hamilton to his third win of the seasonDaniel Ricciardo beat his McLaren teammate for the first time this season, finishing sixth

And he did. Released back onto the track in third place he quickly hunted down teammate Valtteri Bottas and after slight resistance passed him. The Dutchman had the inside line and bravely threw his car into the corner, forcing Hamilton off the track. Verstappen was perfect off the restart getting a gap between him and the Mercedes, ensuring he would be unchallenged into the first turn on lap 11.

Overall it was the most comfortable the Australian driver has looked this season, with commentator Martin Brundle describing Sunday's performance as Ricciardo's "best day" yet this year."Obviously, we didn't have the pace today, but it was nice to hold off a faster car and just put a better weekend together," he said.Beginning the race in seventh, Ricciardo made the most of the 600m journey down to the first corner and made up two places.
