Race Summary
Nico Rosberg claimed victory at the Spanish Grand Prix, defeating Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Starting from pole, Rosberg controlled the race from the front, holding off Hamilton's challenges to secure an important victory. The win kept Rosberg in championship contention and demonstrated he remained capable of defeating his dominant teammate when circumstances aligned favorably.
The race at Barcelona featured strong pace from both Mercedes drivers, with Hamilton pushing hard but unable to find a way past Rosberg's defensive excellence. Vettel's third place for Ferrari continued their solid early-season form, though the gap to Mercedes remained substantial. Hamilton's fastest lap showed he had ultimate pace, but Rosberg's strategic positioning and race management proved decisive.
Rosberg's Spanish triumph was his second win of 2015 and kept the championship battle mathematically alive. However, Hamilton's consistency meant Rosberg needed to win races while his teammate faltered to make serious inroads into the points deficit. The victory provided Rosberg with confidence but didn't significantly alter the championship dynamics, as Hamilton's superiority across the season remained evident.
