Overview
- On Sunday Lewis Hamilton won the Barcelona‑Catalunya Grand Prix to claim his first victory for Ferrari and the 106th of his career.
- Ferrari ran an aggressive three‑stop strategy and used fresher tyres to put Hamilton in position to pit under a Virtual Safety Car and take the lead.
- Kimi Antonelli retired with a sudden power‑unit or electrical failure with four laps remaining, ending his five‑race winning run and leaving him with a 41‑point lead over Hamilton.
- Stewards investigated Hamilton for a possible yellow‑flag breach and cleared him while penalising Franco Colapinto, which reduced Colapinto's points from the result.
- The result raises questions about car reliability and race adjudication and gives Hamilton and Ferrari momentum heading to Austria while Antonelli must respond to the setback.
