In the magazine: In-depth Barcelona review

Read about just how close Lewis Hamilton came to denying Sebastian Vettel victory at the Spanish Grand Prix with expert analysis from Mark Hughes, plus a mega Indianapolis 500 preview and a look at how Kimi Raikkonen fared on his NASCAR debut

The Spanish Grand Prix provided a gripping chase to the flag between Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton. AUTOSPORT's Mark Hughes unravels the strands of what led to such a close climax to the race around the Circuit de Catalunya - and gave Vettel arguably the hardest of his four race wins to date this season.

Hughes also details how Mark Webber's pole position turned into a distant fourth - thanks to a series of knock-on effects that had their roots in his poor start - and what a miraculous job Fernando Alonso did to hold the lead in a bog-slow Ferrari for so long.
