Lewis Hamilton broke his winless spell with Ferrari by taking the Barcelona‑Catalunya Grand Prix, finishing ahead of George Russell and Lando Norris. The victory marked the first all‑British podium since Jackie Stewart’s 1968 United States win. Hamilton described the triumph as an emotion beyond his wildest dreams, his heart “exploding with joy.”

After a virtual safety car allowed a pit stop, Hamilton rejoined in the lead and never looked back. He had struggled all season, missing every podium in 24 races despite a sprint win in China. The win narrows championship leader Kimi Antonelli’s advantage to 41 points after Antonelli retired with four laps remaining.

Russell and Norris each paid tribute, praising Hamilton’s perseverance and the significance of three Brits sharing a podium for the first time in six decades. Norris called it “cool” and a validation of Ferrari’s partnership, while Russell reflected on their years together at Mercedes and lauded Hamilton’s decision to join the iconic Scuderia.

The Barcelona win offers Hamilton redemption after a turbulent 2024 that saw doubts over his fit with Leclerc and an 86‑point gap to the championship leader. He credited his family, fans and the team’s humility for keeping him focused. The result cements Ferrari’s resurgence and reshapes the title battle heading into the next round.
