Verstappen wins Spanish Grand Prix, takes world championship lead

Verstappen had to overcome being blown off the circuit and into the gravel by a gust of wind early on and some technical niggles.

"Difficult beginning but a good end! I tried to stay focussed, which is not always easy," said the Dutch driver, who hit the front late on after passing Perez who had been instructed to relinquish the lead over the team radio. "I am happy for the team. We need to speak later," said Perez who became a father again after the last race in the United States.Lewis Hamilton in the other Mercedes threaded his way through the field after being forced into the pits shortly after the start with a puncture to take fifth."I gave it everything I could, just so proud to be standing here as the guys have worked so hard. Pleased to be able to bring it home in P3, lots of points on the board for us.
