Kimi Antonelli wins the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid after a virtual safety car costs Lando Norris the lead.
Kimi Antonelli won the Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid's new Madring circuit, his eighth win of the season, extending his championship lead to 81 points over teammate George Russell. Pole-sitter Lando Norris lost the lead when a virtual safety car deployment on lap 14-15 allowed Antonelli to pit while Norris had already passed the pit entry. Max Verstappen finished second and Norris third. The race marked F1's return to Madrid after 45 years.
