F1: Top ten performances of the season so far

#7 Lewis Hamilton in Spain

Spanish F1 Grand Prix

In terms of a race win, the Spanish Grand Prix was as straightforward as it gets. Lewis Hamilton claimed pole position in qualifying when he made a new track record with a time record of 1:16.173.

The Briton was in a league of his own, getting off the line perfectly to maintain his position. Even as chaos ensued at the back of the Mercedes, Lewis ensured that his restart after the safety car period left no room for anyone to gain an advantage on him.

So assured was the four-time world champion’s drive, that he encountered the chequered flag a good 20 seconds before anyone else.
