Overall, I thought it was a good race to watch and a dominating race weekend for Nico Rosberg, on pole for Sunday's race. Rosberg dominate the race, while his team-mate had a bad start and stuck behind Vettel's Ferrari for half of the race. With that, Rosberg took the opportunity and lead most of the laps to conclude with a race win in this seasons Spanish Grand Prix for his first race win of the season.
While, Rosberg's team-mate and current F1 Champion Lewis Hamilton finished in second place in the other Mercedes to give the team its third one-two finish of the season, despite Hamilton had a bad start and was mainly behind Vettel for half of the race, he was seventeen seconds behind Rosberg at the end.
Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel finished in third place in the Ferrari to complete the podium, Vettel was forty-five seconds behind Rosberg at the end of the sixty-six lap race.
