He dethroned his predecessor Sebastian Vettel, who had signed his first victory at Monza in 2008 at the wheel of a Toro Rosso.

53: This weekend will see the 53rd edition of the Spanish Grand Prix counting towards the Formula 1 World Championship. Present continuously since 1986 on the calendar, it is worth noting that in the past, 12 Spanish Grand Prix have taken place outside the World Championship.
