Lewis Hamilton, a British racing driver and seven-time world champion, won his first Formula 1 race for the Ferrari team on Sunday at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix in Spain.<\/p>\n
Hamilton finished first, ahead of Mercedes driver George Russell in second place. McLaren\u2019s Lando Norris finished third.<\/p>\n
The result gave Ferrari their first win of the 2026 season and produced an all-British podium, which is rare in Formula 1.<\/p>\n
Hamilton started from second on the grid and benefited from Ferrari’s aggressive strategy, which included multiple tyre changes and effective use of a Virtual Safety Car period.<\/p>\n
The strategy allowed him to gain ground as other drivers faced problems with tyre wear, and he went on to secure a comfortable victory.<\/p>\n
Russell held on to second place despite late pressure, while his Mercedes teammate Kimi Antonelli retired in the closing stages with mechanical issues.<\/p>\n
Norris finished third to complete the all-British podium, while Red Bull’s Max Verstappen came home fourth.<\/p>\n
The victory was Hamilton’s first since joining Ferrari in 2025 and his first Formula 1 win in nearly two years.<\/p>\n
The result strengthens his position in the 2026 Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship as the season approaches its midway point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anadolu Staff 15 June 2026\u2022Update: 15 June 2026 Lewis Hamilton, a British racing driver and seven-time world champion,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":739559,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,232171,82],"class_list":["post-739558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sitekeywords","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=739558"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739558\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/739559"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=739558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=739558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=739558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
