Lewis Hamilton took his first Formula 1 grand prix win as a Ferrari driver in the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.

Hamilton's three-stop strategy comprehensively outperformed the two-stops of the Mercedes duo, aided by a virtual safety car triggered by Fernando Alonso's Aston Martin failing.

He and former team-mate George Russell then got a massive boost in the points standings as points leader Kimi Antonelli exited the race with a front wing failure, just moments after clearing Russell for second place late on.
