Lewis Hamilton secures first Ferrari win in Formula 1

Lewis Hamilton achieved his first Formula 1 victory driving for Ferrari, ending the longest wait among recent champions and doing so in his 31st race with the Scuderia. He finished 4.2 seconds ahead of Max Verstappen, with Charles Leclerc completing the podium, and also recorded the fastest lap of the event. Hamilton said the triumph was “a dream come true to win for Ferrari,” while team boss Frederic Vasseur praised the result as evidence that the team is on the right track. The win marks the first Ferrari victory for a driver since Michael Schumacher’s 1996 Spanish Grand Prix win, a 30‑year gap, and tightens Hamilton’s fight for the drivers’ championship.
