Despite an excellent start that saw Verstappen take the lead of the race, the Dutchman ultimately lost the strategic battle against Hamilton and Mercedes.<\/p>\n<h2>We lacked rhythm against Mercedes.<\/h2>\n<p>The Red Bull driver was the first to come into the pits after holding Hamilton behind him until the 25th lap, but his stop was slow (over 4 seconds) and although he was able to regain the lead, Mazepin having blocked Hamilton for a lap, he ultimately conceded victory by staying on his medium tires while Hamilton pitted for new ones.<\/p>\n<p>He conceded towards the end of the race: Mercedes made a very good move by pitting first. Even if I had pitted earlier, they could have covered my strategy as they were faster, with a better pace today. When you&#8217;re in front, you try to avoid stopping because of traffic, but it&#8217;s much easier when you have pace like they did today, they managed the mediums better with a much better performance than us.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00ab An improvement on our part compared to last year \u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite having a strong car this year, Red Bull missed the strategic opportunity but Verstappen admits that they have made a step forward compared to last year: &#8220;We can be proud of our performance this year, with improvement compared to last year on a track that is more favorable to Mercedes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Max Verstappen, who set the fastest lap at the end of the race after putting on soft tires, now has a 14-point deficit to Hamilton in the World Championship standings and will need to capitalize on a performing car in Monaco to catch up in the standings at the next Grand Prix in the Principality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Spanish Grand Prix went in Mercedes&#8217; favor, with Lewis Hamilton taking his third Grand Prix win of the season, while Verstappen still managed just one victory.
