Lewis Hamilton has won the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, his first victory with Ferrari. This win injects him into the Drivers’ Championship fight and gives Ferrari fans worldwide a moment to celebrate.

Hamilton’s Path to Victory

Hamilton started the race in second place, behind his former Mercedes teammate George Russell. Despite Russell’s strong start, Hamilton’s Ferrari team made strategic decisions that ultimately led to his victory.

The turning point came when Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin suffered a failure, prompting a Virtual Safety Car. This allowed Hamilton to make a pit stop and gain an advantage over Russell. With fresher tires, Hamilton was able to build a significant gap and secure the win.

This victory marks a significant moment for Hamilton, who had not won a Grand Prix since the Belgian Grand Prix in 2024. His last chance to celebrate a Grand Prix victory came at the British Grand Prix that year, an emotional afternoon as it was his final race at Silverstone with Mercedes.
