Lewis Hamilton takes his first win for Ferrari at 41

Lewis Hamilton celebrated an emotional first grand prix victory with Ferrari in Spain on Sunday to end Kimi ‌Antonelli's ⁠five-race ⁠run of success and become, at 41, Formula One's oldest winner since Australian Jack Brabham in 1970.

The Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix triumph was the Briton's ⁠first win ‌since Belgium 2024, his record seventh at ⁠the Circuit de Catalunya and 106th of the seven-time world champion's extraordinary career.

Italian Antonelli, the 19-year-old championship leader, retired five laps from the end and saw his ‌lead over Hamilton slashed to 41 points. George Russell finished second ⁠for Mercedes with McLaren's Lando Norris third.


Late triple champion Brabham was ​43 and 11 months when he took his last F1 victory in South Africa.
