Lewis Hamilton won Sunday's Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, achieving his first victory since joining Ferrari. The forty-one-year-old seven-time world champion triumphed ahead of George Russell and reigning world champion Lando Norris. Deutschlandfunk ↗

For Hamilton, this was his first success of the season and also his 106th career victory in the top motorsport series. He returned to the top step of the podium after almost two years. According to available information, the virtual safety car also helped him in the closing stages, after which he managed the decisive phase of the race. HVG ↗

The race had a strong British dimension. Three British drivers took the podium, something that last happened in Formula 1 at the 1968 United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. On that occasion, Jackie Stewart won ahead of Graham Hill and John Surtees. Barcelona thus produced the first all-British podium in 58 years. sport.sk ↗

After the start, Russell held the lead ahead of Hamilton and Kimi Antonelli, with the order in the top five initially remaining without major changes. In the closing stages, however, a technical failure stopped Antonelli, and Charles Leclerc was also among the drivers who dropped out in the final laps. Telex ↗

The result strengthened Hamilton's position at Ferrari and also highlighted the competitiveness of British drivers in the current season. Future races will show whether the triumph in Barcelona was a one-off success or the beginning of a more stable run for Ferrari. BBC News ↗
