Historic, to say the least, was the event witnessed in Montmeló. After 686 days, Hamilton returned to the top step of the podium, and this time in the colours of the Ferrari team. The much-maligned and criticised driver has found his sweet spot after a torrid debut year at Maranello.

It appeared to be on the cards; many would say, “I saw the win coming”, and thanks to the Mercedes outfit and its strategy calls in Barcelona, it was win number 106 for Hamilton and his first for Ferrari since the 2024 Mexico City Grand Prix. However, while the elation appears to be boundless on one side of Maranello, the same cannot be said of Charles Leclerc, or even the Mercedes team, who could be said to have thrown away a victory after claiming pole with George Russell. In light of this, here are our winners and losers from the Barcelona Grand Prix.

On our Features page, you'll find articles that dive deeper into F1 topics. We evaluate the performances of drivers and teams, and offer our exclusive take on the latest developments. For example, why is the second seat at top teams often seen as so challenging? Who are the winners and losers of each race, and what were some of the most iconic moments in Formula 1 history? All of this and more is covered here on GPblog.

Lewis Hamilton insists he has finally found the “right place” at Ferrari after months of frustration, adaptation and relentless self-analysis - and the results are beginning to show. The British driver achieved his best Grand Prix result with the Scuderia at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, and is optimistic ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix as well.

Starting from the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix weekend, the hotly-debated compression ratio 'trick' will officially be banned. One of the hottest topics of the pre-season, the issue attracted so much attention that it ultimately prompted the FIA to change the rules. The Mercedes team also supported the adjustments.
