Lewis Hamilton wins his first Formula One grand prix for Ferrari at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit on Sunday, marking an emotional and historic result. The victory ends Kimi Antonelli’s five-race sequence of success; Antonelli, a 19-year-old who leads the championship, is forced to retire about five laps from the finish. As a result, his points lead over Hamilton is reduced to 41 points.
Hamilton’s win is his first since Belgium in 2024 and is his seventh victory at Circuit de Catalunya. At 41 years old, Hamilton becomes Formula One’s oldest grand prix winner since Australian Jack Brabham, whose last win came in 1970.
George Russell finishes second for Mercedes, while McLaren’s Lando Norris takes third. The result consolidates Hamilton’s return to the top step and changes the championship picture after Antonelli’s retirement late in the race.
