Lewis Hamilton F1 rejuvenation dubbed ‘the mark of a champion’

Lewis Hamilton claimed victory at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix driving for Ferrari, securing the team's first win of the season and his first win in red. Starting second on the grid, Hamilton used an alternative three-stop strategy — while most competitors used two stops — along with a Virtual Safety Car period to build a dominant lead of nearly 20 seconds. Former F1 driver Stefan Johansson praised the 41-year-old's performance, calling it 'the mark of a champion,' while Hamilton's consistency has placed him second in the Drivers' Championship standings.
