HAMILTON WINS FIRST GP FOR FERRARI AS ANTONELLI RETIRES

Lewis Hamilton secured his maiden Ferrari victory at the Spanish Grand Prix, bringing Mercedes' 2026 winning streak to an end. Hamilton's aggressive three-stop strategy, aided by a timely Virtual Safety Car, saw him master the scorching Barcelona track. He finished ahead of George Russell and Lando Norris, marking the first all-British podium since 1968. This win significantly cuts into championship leader Kimi Antonelli's advantage, as Antonelli suffered a shock retirement late in the race. Max Verstappen finished P4 for Red Bull, ahead of Oscar Piastri.

It was a brutal day for many, with seven total DNFs including Antonelli, Charles Leclerc, and both Aston Martins. American teams struggled; Haas saw Esteban Ocon finish P13 and Ollie Bearman retire, while Cadillac had Sergio Perez P14 and Valtteri Bottas out early. Hamilton's resurgence reshapes the title fight, bringing momentum to Ferrari and putting Antonelli under pressure heading into the next rounds.
