Lewis Hamilton is confident he and Ferrari can build on their first win together at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix with the seven-time world champion bullish about how strong the team were and how comfortable he felt in the car heading into this weekend’s Austrian GP.
Hamilton won in Barcelona to take his first victory for Ferrari and his first since the Belgian GP in 2024. He delivered a superb drive on a three-stop strategy and took advantage of a well-timed safety car but Ferrari too, under the leadership of team principal, Fred Vasseur, were in fine form. Their upgrade package in Spain was revelatory as the car genuinely had the pace to compete with the championship leaders Mercedes. Hamilton is now in second place, 41 points behind the title leader, Kimi Antonelli.
