Lewis Hamilton wins maiden Ferrari victory at 2025 Spanish GP

Hamilton's first win in red is the kind of result that shifts a narrative — after months of adjustment to the Ferrari, a strategy call that worked cleanly is exactly what he needed to silence the doubters. Antonelli's engine failure while running second is the more consequential story for the championship: losing a likely podium finish with three laps left is a brutal way to concede points to the field. Russell inheriting second means Mercedes still scored well from the wreckage, but the reliability question around Antonelli's car will demand answers before the next round. For Ferrari, this is validation that the package can win when the calls go right.
