Lewis Hamilton secured his first victory since joining Ferrari two years ago at the Spanish Grand Prix held Sunday at the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit. The seven-time Formula 1 world champion extended his career win total to 106, marking his first race victory since the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix, which he won while with Mercedes.

Hamilton’s triumph ended a 40-race winless streak and came as Ferrari deployed a superior pit stop strategy and took advantage of fresher tires late in the race. Starting second on the grid, Hamilton overtook pole-sitter George Russell of Mercedes, who finished in second place. Kimi Antonelli, the Formula 1 championship leader, suffered a mechanical failure that forced him out of the race.

Hamilton reflected on the significance of the win, describing it as a unique milestone given the lengthy gap since his last victory. The result boosts Ferrari’s prospects in the ongoing season while confirming Hamilton’s competitive form with his new team.
