Hamilton Wins in Ferrari, Proving He’s Still Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton, at 41, secured the 2026 Barcelona Grand Prix in a Ferrari—his first win for the team and a new entry among the oldest F1 winners—showing that after a rough first year with Ferrari and prior Mercedes reliability hiccups, a new regulations cycle and a strong setup have him again in peak form. The race itself was relatively unremarkable aside from the outcome, underscoring that Hamilton remains capable of delivering at the highest level.
