It was a race which would lead to a huge change in Formula 1 racing very soon. Spanish GP 2016 was Max Verstappen&rsquo;s first race with Red Bull Racing in Formula 1. Verstappen made his debut in Formula 1 in the previous year with the Red Bull junior team- Toro Rosso. The Dutchman was to replace Daniel Kvyat Red Bull Racing in 2016.<\/p><p>In his first race with Red Bull Racing, Verstappen set aspirations for his future career. Since then, the Dutch lion has won more than 60 races in Formula 1. He has won four championships with Red Bull Racing and is a title contender in 2025. Verstappen&rsquo;s story in the Spanish GP 2016 was truly the rise of the &ldquo;Dutch Lion&rdquo; in Formula 1.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Max Verstappen &amp; Lewis Hamilton are the only 2 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SpanishGP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#SpanishGP<\/a> winners since 2016 &#128558; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FIA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#FIA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/F1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#F1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BAZqLpcF28\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/BAZqLpcF28<\/a><\/p>&mdash; FIA (@fia) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fia\/status\/1927379541908946973?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 27, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>The race was not only Verstappen&rsquo;s first victory in F1. It was also a message to the contending drivers of Formula 1. Verstappen went on to dominate each one of them in the years to come with Red Bull Racing. Let&rsquo;s have a quick recap of the magic which unfolded at Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya in 2016 that day.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">As it Happened- Max Verstappen&rsquo;s First Win in Formula 1 <\/h2><p>Red Bull Racing gave young Max Verstappen a promotion in order to retain him for future. His pairing with Daniel Ricciardo was hailed as the greatest driver pair of Formula 1 to come. The championship of 2016 was not a story of Red Bull Racing. It was the year of fierce racing between Mercedes teammates- Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.<\/p><p>As expected, the qualifying performance put the Silver Arrows on the front row. However, as soon as the race started the duo collided and ended each other&rsquo;s race in Turn 4. This gave Max Verstappen the chance to move up into podium place. Verstappen was soon fighting Kimi Raikkonen for the lead of the race. The Dutchman eventually got past Raikkonen with a better tyre strategy. He hung on to his lead and won the Spanish GP.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It started with Mercedes misery &#128165;&#128165;<br>It ended with Max's \"unbelievable\" maiden win &#127942;&#128102;<br><br>The 2016 Spanish Grand Prix was intense! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/F1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#F1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SpanishGP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#SpanishGP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JT2ZFbQ1QN\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/JT2ZFbQ1QN<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Formula 1 (@F1) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/F1\/status\/1928017218442514451?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>May 29, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>Max Verstappen&rsquo;s victory in Spanish GP 2016 made him the youngest winner of Formula 1.
