DESPITE a stuttering start to the season, Lewis Hamilton arrives in Barcelona as F1 World Championship leader.
Hamilton picked up his first win of the season in Azerbaijan after Mercedes team-mate Valtteri Bottas suffered a puncture on the penultimate lap.
That came just after the Brit had leapfrogged Sebastian Vettel, capitalising on the German’s botched attempt to overtake Bottas.
Mercedes’ driver Hamilton is now four points ahead of Vettel despite the Ferrari man winning two of four races so far.
