Start of GP Spain

Where Verstappen and Sainz let each other live in the first corner, it was less so between Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris. The two hit each other after Hamilton overtook the McLaren driver at the start. Norris tried to come back but broke part of his front wing on Hamilton's Mercedes. As a result, the young Briton fell far back and had to make a very early pit stop.
