🏎️ Fantasy F1 || Race 6 || Spain
Race Summary
This was one of those strange races that whilst watching it, I found it to be fairly boring but then I think about what happened and there was quite a lot of action. Magnusson and Hamilton making contact on the first lap and sending them both to the back of the grid. Hamilton suggesting to the team that they save the engine and subsequently putting in a remarkable drive to finish 5th.
A couple of drivers (Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen) got caught by a gust of wind at turn 4 - Sainz on lap 7, sending him tumbling down the order from 5th all the way down to 14th and Verstappen doing the exact same thing on lap 9, only dropping from 2nd to 4th. Both drivers also went on with a solid performance - Sainz finishing 4th and Verstappen going on to comfortably win the race, despite getting pissed off with his team with his DRS not working properly.
The most disappointed driver of the weekend will be Charles Leclerc though. Whilst leading the race by over 12 seconds, his car just gave up - forcing him to retire. He was understandably gutted as were those of us (i.e. me) who had him as their turbo driver.
So a strange race in that there was plenty of drama, but it didn't feel particularly dramatic. A Red Bull 1-2 (Verstappen beating Perez) and George Russell putting in an impressive performance to take the final podium position.
Race 6 Points
Despite having Charles Leclerc as his Turbo Driver, it was another great weekend for @titopx who scored 208 points with Red Bull + Sergio Perez contributing 143 of them.
Congratulations @titopx, your 20 STEEM delegation is now with you 🏆

There's a short turnaround before the Monaco Grand Prix next weekend and I suspect I won't be the only one rooting for Charles Leclerc in his home Grand Prix.
Late Entries Welcome
It's a long season with another 16 races expected (it has been confirmed that there won't be a race to replace the Russian Grand Prix). With a delegation of 20 STEEM for each race up for grabs, there's plenty still to be won so please read this post for more information on how to join.

No confio, sigue siendo una diferencia que no es para relajarse, en el momento que no me sienta seguro con mi equipo lo cambiare, pero mientras con Mónaco tan cerca, seguire con él.
Cuando la elección es buena desde el principio tendra resultados hasta el final.
Saludos amigo felicitaciones al ganador de esta semana. Interesante, llamativo y muy divertido concurso este de Fantasía F1
You are still welcome to join in, there's a 20 STEEM per race delegation on offer so even if you don't finish in the top 3 overall, there's plenty still on offer.
Tito unbelievable! 👍 I am happy, my team is slowly growing, now we are aiming for fourth place...
So long as you keep away from 3rd place (until I'm in 2nd, then you can go for 3rd) 🙂
