Lewis Hamilton wins first Ferrari race in Barcelona, cites past injury

Lewis Hamilton secured his first victory driving for Ferrari at the Barcelona Grand Prix, marking his 106th Formula 1 win and the inaugural triumph for the British seven‑time world champion in Ferrari colours. After crossing the finish line, Hamilton disclosed that a lingering injury from early 2023 had hampered his performance during the 2025 season, saying, “I was injured last year and it stayed with me for months.”

The win also sparked a wave of attention on social media after a short video showed Hamilton strolling through the paddock in a bright yellow sweater, brown cap and sunglasses, prompting both praise for his style and criticism that his off‑track persona should not eclipse his sporting achievements.
