Kimi Antonelli didn`t have to work too hard for his Formula 1 victory.
A week after having to come from the back of grid for an epic win in front of his home fans at Monza, Antonelli was virtually gifted the victory at Spanish GP.
The young Italian took advantage of an unlucky break for Lando Norris to win in F1`s return to Madrid and increase his lead in the drivers` standings.
Antonelli was second early on at the new Madring track in the Spanish capital, but pole-sitter Norris relinquished his lead.
Charles Leclerc, who led most of the race after opting not to pit when the virtual safety car was deployed.
