Red Bull left the Spanish Grand Prix having taken maximum points from a race weekend for the second time this season.

The team had been made to wait six years for a 1-2 finish (since 2016) before Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez stood on the top two steps of the podium at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix – and just two races on, they repeated the trick in Barcelona.

As was the case at Imola, the Milton Keynes-based squad also secured an extra bonus point for completing the race's fastest lap, with Perez pipping solid efforts from George Russell and Lewis Hamilton to register a 1:24.108 late in the Grand Prix.

As a result, Red Bull now lead the Constructors' Championship by 26 points from Ferrari. Here is the lap that secured Perez and his team an extra point in the standings:
