Race Recap
Mercedes's Kimi Antonelli won the Madrid Grand Prix, improving on a P2 grid slot to lead at the checkered flag. A 83 OVR performance grade backs up the result. Verstappen finished second for Red Bull, with Norris completing the podium.
The Decisive Factor
The tire war went to Verstappen, who earned a 96 TIR tire management grade by extending stint performance beyond the field average.
Championship Impact
Antonelli commands a 100% title probability heading into the next round. Antonelli leads Russell by 102 points in the standings.
Survival Race
4 DNFs made this one of the more dramatic races of the season. Among the casualties: Hamilton (P4).
Despite locking out pole, Norris could only manage P3 when the lights went out. A strong 91 QUA qualifying grade highlights the one-lap speed that didn't translate to race pace.
