Lewis Hamilton secured his first victory for Ferrari at the Barcelona‑Catalunya Grand Prix, delivering an all‑British podium with George Russell second and Lando Norris third – a feat not seen since 1968. The win also gave the 41‑year‑old his first triumph in red, lifting team morale. BBC Radio 5 Live commentator Harry Benjamin released his driver ratings for the weekend, grading each performance from pole to finish.

Hamilton earned a perfect 10/10, bouncing back from early‑season doubts to dominate race pace and strategy. Russell received 8/10 after a strong run but was overtaken by teammate Kimi Antonelli, while Norris scored 9/10 for pressure despite lacking the final edge. Verstappen’s 8/10 reflected a shaky practice but a strong finish, and midfield drivers saw mixed grades. Alonso and Sainz struggled, underscoring their teams' woes.

The victory shrank Hamilton’s deficit to championship leader Kimi Antonelli to 41 points, after the Italian retired late in the race. Benjamin gave Antonelli an 8.5/10 for a comeback drive despite tyre struggles. Both teams will eye the next race, aware the points swing matters.
