The Spanish Grand Prix is again heading towards and Lewis Hamilton vs Max Verstappen showdown, after the two rivals have contested fiercely in the three previous races this season.

The Mercedes will again start off as a favourite, having eased to the top in free practice 2, ahead of teammate Valtteri Bottas. Meanwhile, the Red Bull star had his preparations hit a roadblock as he ended up at a lowly ninth position, having steered off the track before aborting the lap.
