  • Lewis Hamilton won the Spanish Grand Prix, marking his first victory in nearly two years and his first with Ferrari.

Lewis Hamilton captured his first Formula 1 victory in nearly two years at the Spanish Grand Prix, marking a significant moment for both the driver and his new team, Ferrari. This win ended a long drought for the seven-time world champion and also broke Mercedes' recent dominance in the sport, which had seen them win the previous six races.

The podium in Barcelona was an all-English affair, with Hamilton joined by Mercedes driver George Russell and McLaren's Lando Norris. This marked a strong performance from British drivers on the Circuit de Montmeló.

Championship leader Kimi Antonelli faced disappointment as his car failed, forcing him to retire from the race without scoring points. This setback allowed Hamilton to significantly reduce the points deficit in the drivers' standings. Antonelli still leads with 156 points, but Hamilton is now 41 points behind, with Russell a further 9 points adrift in third.
