Kimi Antonelli Wins 2026 Spanish Grand Prix at Madring Circuit
Kimi Antonelli won the inaugural 2026 Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid's new Madring circuit, marking his eighth victory of the season and extending his championship lead to 81 points over teammate George Russell. The race outcome was heavily influenced by a virtual safety car triggered by Lance Stroll's retirement, which allowed Antonelli to pit at an advantageous time. Pole-sitter Lando Norris lost his lead due to missing the pit window during the VSC and finished third behind Max Verstappen. Charles Leclerc led much of the race but finished fourth after a late pit stop.
