Lewis Hamilton wins first Grand Prix for Ferrari with a brilliant performance in Barcelona

Lewis Hamilton finally delivered Ferrari’s long-awaited dream in the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, earning his 106th Formula One victory and his first for the red cars in 31 starts. Ferrari’s precision strategy helped set up the win, with an early pit to pressure Mercedes and a second stop that left Hamilton with fresher tires for the late charge.

On a 66-lap race, Hamilton surged after a Virtual Safety Car, closing the gap to leader George Russell and pulling away to cross the line well ahead. Russell finished second as Hamilton’s performance capped a challenging year and underscored Ferrari’s revival and Hamilton’s enduring mastery in the sport.
