Mercedes of valtteri bottas, Finnish racing driver

Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton claimed his record 156th podium finish after winning the fifth Spsh Grand Prix and fourth race of the season at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya here on Sunday.Hamilton claimed his 88th Formula One career victory. Red Bull's Max Verstappen came second ahead of the sister Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas.The seeds of Hamilton's victory were sown by a strong start for him, as Bottas dropped from P2 to P4 off the line, before eventually recovering to third, while Verstappen jumped to second at the getaway, but ultimately wasn't able to make any in-roads into Hamilton's lead, as he finished 24 seconds adrift.Racing Point's Sergio Perez crossed the line in fourth but dropped to fifth thanks to a five-second penalty for ignoring blue flags, allowing Lance Stroll to claim P4.Perez eventually slotted into fifth, ahead of the McLaren of Carlos Sainz - who maintained his 100 per cent record of finishing in the points at his home race - and the Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel, who benefitted from a late decision to switch him onto a one-stop strategy to come home in seventh.He finished ahead of the second Red Bull of Alex Albon, the Thai driver hurt by having had to switch early to a set of hards, while the AlphaTauri of Pierre Gasly and the second McLaren of Lando Norris rounded out the top 10 - the expected strong race pace from Renault having failed to materialise on race day, as Del Ricciardo finished at 11th, with Esteban Ocon at 13th.Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, meanwhile, was the only driver to retire from the race, the Monegasque suffered an electrical issue at the halfway point that pitched him into a spin at turn 15, before eventually boxing his SF1000.( With inputs from ANI )
