Lewis Hamilton has achieved a momentous victory for Ferrari at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, securing the team's first win of the season. The seven-time champion, in his second season with Ferrari, overcame a difficult start to the season to emerge victorious from Mercedes' George Russell and McLaren's Lando Norris. This historic win marks the first all-British podium in F1 since the 1968 United States Grand Prix.
Hamilton's victory was a moment of redemption for the driver, who struggled to find consistency last season. He admitted to doubting himself as he struggled to come to terms with team-mate Charles Leclerc, finishing 86 points behind him in the 2025 championship. However, Hamilton expressed his gratitude to his fans, family, and friends for their support throughout the challenging period.
With this win, Hamilton narrows championship leader Kimi Antonelli's lead to 41 points. The Italian driver had been on course to extend his lead before retiring from second place with four laps to go, promoting Norris to third place. Hamilton's Ferrari team celebrated the win with a heartwarming display of national pride, singing the British national anthem.
