Hamilton wins first race with Ferrari at Barcelona-Catalunya GP
- On Sunday, Lewis Hamilton won the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, securing his first victory with Ferrari and his record-extending 106th career win. The 41-year-old became the oldest race winner since Jack Brabham in 1970.
- Hamilton endured a testing debut season with Ferrari last year, finishing sixth overall without a podium finish. Team principal Fred Vasseur may have discovered the secret to returning the seven-time world champion to his best form.
- Crossing the line over 19 seconds clear of Mercedes' George Russell, Hamilton celebrated as Lando Norris completed the first all-British podium since 1968. Sunday's triumph followed back-to-back runner-up finishes.
- Championship leader Kimi Antonelli's five-race winning streak ended with an engine failure, slashing his advantage to 41 points. This result puts Hamilton firmly in title contention to move ahead of Michael Schumacher.
- Despite the victory, Hamilton added, "There is a long, long way to go and they've still got great pace. It's not over, that's for sure." He remains focused on closing the gap.
