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 during the race at the Madring circuit in Madrid.

Kimi Antonelli won the Spanish GP on his Madrid debut, fending off Verstappen. Verstappen also offered a comical reply to a stubborn defending effort by Lando Norris. He earlier criticized "Mickey Mouse racing" after the Hamilton clash.
