Barcelona GP 2026 — Hamilton finally wins for Ferrari as Mercedes' title defence cracks

Lewis Hamilton delivered his 106th career win and first for Ferrari at the 2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, executing a three-stop strategy to beat George Russell by 19.561 seconds — the season's largest winning margin — while championship leader Kimi Antonelli retired four laps from the end, trimming his title lead over Russell from 66 to 50 points. Eight drivers failed to finish in a race that exposed Ferrari's upgraded SF-26 as the class leader in cornering and raised serious reliability questions at Mercedes.
