Oscar Piastri Secures Victory at Spanish Grand Prix Amid Late-Stage Clash Between George Russell and Max Verstappen

Oscar Piastri dominated the Spanish Grand Prix on Sunday, leading from the outset and solidifying his position at the forefront of the drivers’ world championship. While Piastri basked in victory, a dramatic finish unfolded as Max Verstappen and George Russell collided with just one lap remaining. Verstappen was instructed to yield but maintained his trajectory as Russell tried to pass at a corner, resulting in contact. The Mercedes driver was forced to concede, and Verstappen incurred a 10-second penalty, dropping him to 10th place instead of fifth and costing him vital championship points. McLaren's Lando Norris clinched second, with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc in third. The race's tension heightened after a safety car incident involving Andrea Kimi Antonelli, leading to further intrigue as the race resumed.
