Lando Norris held onto the lead ahead of Kimi Antonelli despite an aggressive start from both the Italian and Max Verstappen. Here is everything that happened at the start of the Madrid Grand Prix.
The Dutchman was also quite aggressive at the start. After being overtaken by Lewis Hamilton through the opening corners, Verstappen reclaimed the position by cutting the chicane.
However, the Red Bull pit wall instructed him to hand the place back to Hamilton, a move which also cost him another position, leaving Verstappen two places down and several seconds adrift.
