Max Verstappen characterized the on-track collision with Lewis Hamilton at the Spanish Grand Prix as "just the nature of the track." The contact happened during the race at the Madring circuit in Madrid.
Kimi Antonelli claimed the Spanish GP on his Madrid debut, holding off Verstappen. Verstappen also gave a wry reply to a stubborn defending effort by Lando Norris. He earlier criticized "Mickey Mouse racing" after the Hamilton clash.
