All the key moments from the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix

Kimi Antonelli secured his eighth win of the season at the inaugural Madrid Grand Prix, further extending his championship lead over Mercedes teammate George Russell. While Antonelli dominated, the race was defined by a crucial Virtual Safety Car period that favored the Mercedes driver and cost Lando Norris a likely victory, despite the reigning champion's masterful qualifying performance. Elsewhere, Ferrari's weekend was a mixed bag; Lewis Hamilton's race ended early due to brake failure after a promising start, while Charles Leclerc maximized his strategy to finish P4. Max Verstappen recovered from a chaotic opening lap to take second place for Red Bull, successfully fending off a late charge from Norris. Meanwhile, the supporting F3 season concluded with Ugo Ugochukwu claiming the title, and Dino Beganovic triumphed in the F2 Feature Race, adding to the spectacle in front of numerous football stars and sports icons in attendance.
