Story of the race: Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel give F1 the fight it needed in 2017

ESPN rounds up the main talking points from a thrilling and dramatic Spanish Grand Prix which saw Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel go wheel to wheel for the race win.

Shock: A Spanish Grand Prix many expected to be a processional, dull race was anything but. The first corner collision changed the complexion of the race but the extension of the the circuit's DRS zone aided overtaking at the front. Max Verstappen and Kimi Raikkonen's early retirements combined with Valtteri Bottas' late DNF meant there were big points up for grabs for a lot of teams who wouldn't have expected a very fruitful Spanish Grand Prix.
