Lando Norris hailed Lewis Hamilton’s triumph at the Barcelona‑Catalunya Grand Prix, saying the Briton can "stick the middle finger up" to anyone who questioned his form. Hamilton’s win marked his first for Ferrari and his first race victory since the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix, completing an all‑British podium with George Russell and Norris – a feat not seen since the 1968 United States Grand Prix.
The victory ends a difficult 2025 season for Hamilton, during which he failed to reach the podium for the first time in his career and even described himself as "absolutely useless". The start of 2026 has been markedly better, with three top‑three finishes before Barcelona, signalling a resurgence for the seven‑time champion in his new team.
Norris, who grew up admiring Hamilton, called the result "pretty special" and noted the pride of sharing the top step with a former teammate. While he hopes the season remains competitive, he added that the win serves as a clear answer to the online criticism Hamilton has endured, underscoring the significance of the historic British sweep.
