Russell holds off Hamilton at Spanish GP start as Leclerc charges forward

The Briton got off the line well despite the seven-time world champion's aggressive start on the soft tyres, while Kimi Antonelli held onto third place. Lando Norris remained fourth, with Max Verstappen rounding out the top five.

Charles Leclerc also made a strong start, gaining three positions on the opening lap and already running just behind the top five. It was a poor start for Isack Hadjar, who dropped out of the top 10 off the line and now finds himself down in 13th place, while the two Aston Martins continue to occupy the final two positions.
