Lewis Hamilton just achieved the IMPOSSIBLE in Spain! 😱 After pulling off a historic, jaw-dropping 106th career win, even his ex-teammate George Russell had to confess the brutal truth about Lewis’s “INSANE” new speed!

Lewis Hamilton secured his first victory for Scuderia Ferrari at the 2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, marking a historic milestone for the driver and the team. Speaking in the post-race interview, Hamilton expressed profound gratitude to his team, Ferrari, and the factory staff, acknowledging the belief they placed in him. He noted that the journey began as a dream last year that seemed almost impossible, but the team continued to lift him up through numerous changes and improvements. Hamilton also thanked his fan base, describing them as the greatest a sportsman could ask for.

The victory represents the 106th win of Hamilton’s career. When asked how this win ranks among the others, Hamilton stated that while all victories are special in their own way, this one is something else. He recalled watching Ferrari’s success on television as a child and wondering what it would be like to win in that car. Hamilton credited the team’s hard work, great pit stops, and strong strategy, adding that the car felt fantastic. He concluded with the phrase “Forza Ferrari,” expressing hope that this is the first of many wins.

George Russell, Hamilton’s former teammate at Mercedes, offered congratulations, acknowledging how hard Hamilton works. Russell noted that he is pleased to see Hamilton back to his best, remembering what it was like watching him grow up in Formula 1. Russell described his own race as challenging, particularly in the last two stints, but expressed satisfaction at returning to the podium. When asked about the pace and reliability issues posed by Ferrari, Russell admitted that the pace from Hamilton was “insane” and that Ferrari is coming.

Lando Norris, who finished third, also congratulated Hamilton, saying it was nice to see him back on top. Norris described the race as tough, stating that he did his best to keep up but that Hamilton and Russell were too quick. He acknowledged that his team got lucky with Kimi Antonelli going out but was happy to be back on the podium. When asked what is still missing to challenge for wins, Norris said a little bit of everything is needed, crediting Ferrari and Mercedes for doing a better job at the moment.

The podium marked a special day for Great Britain, as the last all-British podium occurred in 1968. Hamilton reflected on his renewed confidence, attributing it to hard work, training, and the team’s belief in the changes he requested. He stated that the team is slowly seeing everything come together and that he is happy in his life. When asked if this means the championship is now game on, with no points for Kimi Hey, Hamilton confirmed that it is a long way to go but that the team will keep working to close the gap.

The victory has been described as the culmination of a technical transformation for Ferrari, with Hamilton playing a key role in the car’s development. According to reports, Hamilton’s persistent input led to an aggressive upgrade package that transformed the SF26 into a competitive machine. The race saw Hamilton execute a bold move at the start to take the lead and manage tire degradation effectively, maintaining a pace that his rivals found unreachable. The win is seen as a declaration of intent for the remainder of the 2026 season.
