The happiness, however, didn’t last long for the 24-year old. Right at the start of the Spanish GP, he had a collision with Hamilton going into the first turn.
Hamilton started the race in P4, right at the tail of fellow Briton Norris. As the lights went out, Hamilton had a good start going into lead from Norris in Turn 1. The McLaren man followed closely behind Hamilton moving into Turn 2.
