    F1: Spanish Grand Prix

    Barcelona

    DUTCH teenager Max Verstappen made Formula One (F1) history as the youngest race winner on Sunday in a sensational Spanish Grand Prix that saw dominant Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg collide and crash out on the opening lap.

    Verstappen, only 18 and making his debut for former world champions Red Bull after being promoted from junior team Toro Rosso a week earlier, beat Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen - at 36 twice his age - by 0.616 seconds.
