Kimi Antonelli continued his impressive Formula 1 season by winning the Spanish Grand Prix at the new Madring circuit, extending his championship lead. Antonelli held off a challenge from Max Verstappen to secure his eighth victory of the season, further solidifying his position as the dominant force in the championship.
Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton's title aspirations took a significant blow after retiring from the race due to a brake issue. The seven-time world champion now trails Antonelli by 101 points, admitting that his chances of winning the championship are effectively over. George Russell also finds himself significantly behind his teammate, acknowledging that a "miracle" is needed for him to remain in contention.
