Horner: Verstappen 'aware of penalty risk' in Spain fastest lap push

The Red Bull driver was on course for a Grand Chelem in Barcelona, just needing the fastest lap bonus point - which he ultimately secured with a 1:16:330 on Lap 61 of 66 - to secure the rare feat of winning from pole and leading every lap.
Verstappen's dominance was so great in Spain that the only session of the weekend he did not lead was Q1 - but was on the verge of a penalty in the race after receiving a black and white flag for track limits.
