Max Verstappen took a narrow victory over an ultimately deflated Lando Norris in the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix. The race was defined by McLaren’s choice of an offset strategy, which almost paid off.

Norris secured his first pole position in three years on Saturday and led the field away on new soft tyres, but his launch from pole was poor and while he attempted to keep Verstappen from getting by into Turn 1 it was George Russell who snatched the lead from fourth on the grid. Norris meanwhile fell behind Verstappen to third.
