Lewis Hamilton secured his first victory for Ferrari at Barcelona‑Catalunya, taking the lead after a virtual safety‑car period. The win snapped a long drought for the Italian team and tightened the championship gap.

Hamilton’s 106th Grand Prix triumph came after a VSC forced a pit stop that saved him ten seconds. With fresh tyres and a 14‑second cushion, he crossed the line while Kimi Antonelli retired from second with four laps remaining.

Antonelli’s retirement from the chase left Russell in second and Norris third, completing the first all‑British podium since 1968. Hamilton’s win narrows the championship deficit to 41 points, keeping his title hopes alive.

The race highlighted Ferrari’s strategic edge and the fragility of Mercedes’ battle. Hamilton’s confidence in the team is evident, while Antonelli’s exit signals a turning point in the title fight.
