The inaugural Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid’s Madring delivered a race shaped by strategy, timing and one very costly Virtual Safety Car.
Lando Norris started from pole and controlled the opening stages, building a comfortable lead at the front. But when Lance Stroll’s Aston Martin stopped and triggered a VSC, the race changed completely. Kimi Antonelli was able to pit at the perfect moment, while Norris missed the pit entry. A costly seven-second McLaren stop when Norris eventually came in made the situation even worse, turning a race Norris had been leading into one he could no longer control.
Antonelli took full advantage and became the first-ever Formula 1 winner at the Madring, securing his eighth victory of the 2026 season. Max Verstappen finished P2, while Norris fought back to complete the podium in P3. Antonelli’s victory also extended his championship advantage over George Russell to 81 points.
Behind them, Charles Leclerc delivered P4 for Ferrari, with George Russell finishing P5. Liam Lawson scored an impressive P6, Franco Colapinto took P7 and Oscar Piastri finished P8. Lewis Hamilton’s race ended early with a brake problem, giving him his first retirement of the season.
The race itself was relatively processional after the early strategic shake-up, with the Madring’s layout offering very few opportunities for overtaking. Leclerc even inherited the lead late in the race while stretching his tyres, before making his mandatory stop with eight laps remaining and handing the lead back to Antonelli.
The final podium:
Kimi Antonelli — Mercedes
Max Verstappen — Red Bull
Lando Norris — McLaren
A historic first race in Madrid ends with Kimi Antonelli as the first name to win at the Madring — and the championship leader leaves Spain with an even bigger advantage.

Lando and Oscar couldn't believe Zak just said that! 😂💀
. . .
During a live pop quiz segment on Virgin Radio UK's The Chris Evans Breakfast Show in 2023, Zak Brown was competing against his own drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. After answering a series of questions correctly and pulling ahead in the game, Brown jokingly bragged: "I'm dominating. This is like Alonso on Stroll."
The unexpected comment left both Norris and Piastri visibly stunned, with Norris left open-mouthed in disbelief and Piastri laughing at the sheer bluntness of their boss's public call-out of their grid rivals.
The joke poked fun at the highly publicized performance gap at Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team between two-time World Champion Fernando Alonso and his teammate Lance Stroll. When Brown made the comment, Alonso was heavily outscoring Stroll, consistently maximizing the car's potential while Stroll struggled to match his pace.

Lando Norris started the first-ever Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring from pole, but what looked like a dream start quickly turned into a fight for survival. 🧡 After leading from the front, a badly timed VSC pit stop dropped him down the order, leaving him to fight his way back through the field. He eventually finished P3, behind Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen, securing another podium on a weekend where he had already made history by taking the very first pole at the new Madrid circuit.

Kimi Antonelli didn't even need to pass Lando Norris on track to win the first-ever Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid. A Virtual Safety Car did it for him.
Norris held the lead off pole despite Antonelli cutting corners in his early attempts to get past. Then the VSC arrived, and the strategy split decided the race — Mercedes' timing worked perfectly, handing Antonelli the net lead, while a slow McLaren stop dropped Norris behind both him and Verstappen. Charles Leclerc, gambling on a Safety Car that never came, stayed out until lap 48 before finally pitting and losing any shot at the win.
Antonelli crossed the line first despite admitting concerns with his steering during the race — his eighth win of the season, stretching his championship lead to 81 points over teammate Russell, who finished fifth. Hamilton didn't make it that far, retiring early with a brake issue.
Further down, Lawson took P6 for Red Bull, with Colapinto salvaging Alpine's only points finish of the day in P7, and Lindblad and Hulkenberg rounding out the top 10. Sainz failed to finish at his own home race, while Perez and Stroll joined Hamilton on the retirement list with water system and brake issues of their own.

Reigning Formula 1 World Champion. Grid penalty at Spa. 10th in the championship. And somehow Lando Norris spent last Monday in the Sidemen studio helping KSI, Miniminter, Zerkaa, Vikkstar, TBJZL, Behzinga and W2S try to identify the real F1 driver from a lineup of masked contestants. Six fake drivers. One real one. A reaction test, a parallel parking challenge, and a go-kart time trial to sort them out. This is the most chaotic use of a world champion’s weekend and we are fully here for it. 😭🏎️
Lando and the Sidemen attempt to uncover the Formula 1 driver from a masked line-up  — and knowing Lando, he absolutely gave his honest, unfiltered opinion on every single contestant while the Sidemen descended into total chaos around him. Vikkstar already being friends with McLaren made this feel like the most natural crossover imaginable. The behind-the-scenes Unboxed video on McLaren’s channel showing every unscripted moment between him and the boys? Already rewatched it three times. 🎥😂
Formula 1 world champion. Sidemen Sunday guest. Parallel parking judge. Lando Norris really is doing it all in 2026 and we respect every single second of it. Catch the full video on the Sidemen YouTube channel before Hungary qualifying this weekend — because after that he is very much back in work mode. 🔥👑 #LandoNorris #Sidemen #SidemenSunday #LN4 #f1
Lando Norris returned to the top step of the podium with a commanding victory at the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix, ending McLaren’s wait for a win this season. Starting from pole position, Norris controlled the race despite early pressure and delivered one of his strongest drives of the year.
What made the result even more satisfying was the resilience shown by Norris and McLaren after a difficult first half of the campaign. While rivals battled setbacks throughout the race, Norris remained calm, executed a flawless strategy, and converted pole into victory.
Champions know how to respond when momentum shifts. Norris reminded the Formula 1 paddock exactly what he is capable of, giving McLaren a huge boost heading into the second half of the season.

Congratulations to Lando on an excellent lap, looking forward to tomorrow's contest 👊

Chamaram atenção do Lando Norris para ele não beber Coca-Cola no cooldown room.
Motivo é muito simples: a marca não é patrocinadora da categoria.
A PepsiCo é que está com a Fórmula 1 por meio do Gatorade como bebida esportiva oficial, o Sting Energy como energético e o Doritos como snack, além de garantir o direito exclusivo de fornecimento de todo o seu portfólio de REFRIGERANTES (!) e petiscos.
Por fim, aquele espaço é da Moët & Chandon, que faz parte do grupo LVMH e é parceira oficial da F1 até 2035.

Adele was literally fighting for her life😭
—
As the Formula 1 grid gears up for the iconic British Grand Prix weekend, McLaren dropped a surprise collaborative video featuring the “Hello” singer touring their headquarters alongside CEO Zak Brown, Team Principal Andrea Stella, Lando Norris, and Oscar Piastri.
The highlight of the crossover is undoubtedly the McLaren Gaming Studio segment. Oscar Piastri, widely known for his ultra-calm, “Zen-like” demeanor and dry sense of humor, took on the role of driving instructor to guide a hilariously out-of-her-depth Adele through the virtual twists and turns of the high-speed Silverstone circuit.
Piastri maintains his trademark ice-cold composure, casually explaining complex braking zones and apexes as if he isn’t speaking to one of the highest-selling musical artists of all time.
Adele brings her signature unfiltered, loud, and incredibly relatable British humor to the rig, reacting with pure panic to the virtual speeds and simulated downforce.
Seeing a driver who literally spends his weekends pulling G-forces at 300+ km/h calmly telling Adele when to “lift and coast” while she fights the steering wheel is the exact kind of bizarre pop-culture crossover that makes the Silverstone paddock so chaotic and entertaining.
Between McLaren’s special vintage-white home race suits and Adele trying to set a lap time in the simulator, McLaren has completely won the pre-race media week.
