Kimi Antonelli wins Spanish Grand Prix as Lando Norris finishes second

Kimi Antonelli secured the victory at the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid on September 13, 2026. The race at the new 5.4km Madring circuit proved difficult for overtaking due to track layout design. Championship leader Antonelli maintained his position behind Lando Norris for much of the event before capitalizing on a poorly timed virtual safety car that hampered the McLaren driver. While Norris finished behind Max Verstappen, who took second place, the result keeps the Mercedes driver at the top of the standings. Lewis Hamilton retired from the race after experiencing a brake system failure on his Ferrari. The inaugural race at the venue was noted for its high-commitment corners, though the lack of long straightaways limited passing opportunities throughout the field.
