  1. Cooldown room chat

    The top three have made it to the cooldown room and there must be some potty-mouthed chat going on, as the audio feed keeps cutting out. Once the swears are out the system, Lewis Hamilton, George Russell and Land Norris dissect what happened in Barcelona.

    Russell says Kimi Antonelli's front wing was damaged when Norris asks, but the reason for the Italian's retirement was actually an electrical shutdown.

    I think this is a win that everyone across the grid and in the grandstands will be loving. There will not be one person that will be unhappy with the result.

  4. Lewis Hamilton's old Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg has the microphone for the post-race interviews. Lewis Hamilton is stunned at what he has accomplished today. The seven-time world champion says he's got the best fanbase in thte world, and says he has dreamed of winning a race for Ferrari.

    George Russell is asked if the Scuderia are a threat now in the championship. "They're coming," is the reply.

  5. Team radio - Ferrari to Hamilton

    Engineer: "Well done Lewis. Finally you got what you deserved."

    Hamilton: "Thank you so much, you've helped me achieve this dream and I can't thank you enough. Thank you to everyone pushing so hard back at home, I'm so proud of you. To my family, I love you and to the fans thank you for reminding me who I am."

  6. Hamilton wins in Barcelona

    Title leader Kimi Antonelli comes away from round seven with zero points following his retirement, but he heads straight over to Lewis Hamilton to say congratulations.

    A Ferrari with a Union Jack flag draped around their shoulders is crying in the grandstands.

    Max Verstappen is fourth, Oscar Piastri ends his Barcelona race in fifth and the second Red Bull of Isack Hadjar recovers from his slow start to finish back where he began his grand prix in sixth.

    It's double points for Alpine as Pierre Gasly is seventh and Franco Colapinto is eighth and Racing Bulls also have both drivers in the top 10, with Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad ninth and 10th respectively.

    It is the first time since 1968 we had a full British lock-out, the US Grand Prix we last saw that.

  10. Final lap

    Lap 66/66

    The crowds are cheering for Lewis Hamilton as he starts his final lap of the Barcelona circuit. The Ferrari man is leading George Russell by nearly 20 seconds, with world champion Lando Norris 23 seconds behind.

    The Spanish fans are roaring. Career win number 106 is about to be celebrated by Hamilton...

    That is significant. 41 points between Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton if it ends as it is now. That would be incredible for Ferrari and Lewis. That puts them back in the mix, they can pile on the pressure.

    Gift from the gods for Russell. From absolutely demoralising the lap before to an 18 point swing the lap after. What a funny old sport F1 can be.

    There is only two laps remaining so this could end under virtual safety car or a one lap dash.

  14. Hamilton almost there

    Lap 65/66

    The virtual safety car is ending and Lewis Hamilton has one foot on the top step of the podium for the first time in Italian red. It'll be an all-British podium, too, with George Russell and Lando Norris joining him for a champagne moment.

  15. VSC - Hamilton leads, Antonelli out

    Lap 64/66

    What drama at the end of this race. Kimi Antonelli is watching on as his poorly Mercedes is taken away. Charles Leclerc went into the pits at Ferrari and the Monegasque driver has been forced to retire.

  16. Virtual safety car

    Lap 63/66

    It was only a minor tap between Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, so this isn't a contact stoppage for the Italian. Russell is second, Lewis Hamilton is leading and Lando Norris moves into the final podium place in third.

    The marshals are on the scene to try and move Atonelli's stricken car.

    That is going to leave a sour taste in George Russell's mouth. He is going to be seething. We thought this was his weekend to have.

  18. Team radio - Leclerc to Ferrari

    Leclerc: "Losing the power steering!"

  19. Antonelli slowing down

    Lap 62/66

    What has happened?! Kimi Antonelli is slowing down and the Italian eventually comes to a stop on track.

    And now Charles Leclerc is also losing pace after going over the gravel. The Monegasque driver says he has lost power steering!

  20. Antonelli passes Russell

    Lap 61/66

    And there it is for Kimi Antonelli. He's been aggressively trying to close to team-mate George Russell for the last few laps and on lap 61, the title leader takes his chance to nab second off Russell. Did the two make contact? There seems to be a little bit of debris on track.
