Max Verstappen described the on-track collision with Lewis Hamilton at the Spanish Grand Prix as "just the nature of the track." The contact came mid-race at the Madring circuit in Madrid.

Kimi Antonelli claimed the Spanish GP on his Madrid debut, fending off Verstappen. Verstappen also gave a wry response to a stubborn defending effort by Lando Norris. He previously complained about "Mickey Mouse racing" after the Hamilton clash.
