Formula 1 fans have celebrated Lewis Hamilton's first win as a Ferrari driver at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.
The seven-time champion converted a second-place start into his first victory with the Maranello outfit in Barcelona, successfully pulling off a three-stop strategy and crossing the line with a 19-second lead over George Russell in second.
Fans were quick to react to the milestone moment on social media. "Grande Lewis. Today is a great day," one fan commented on Reddit, while another added: "Bro literally let his hair down this weekend, damn."
"Hamilton is on both the top 10 youngest and oldest winners lists. Mind blown lol," someone else posted.
Further reactions included: "I am crying", "Opening my 'special occasion' wine for this," and "I didn't think this day would come, but he's done it."
While Hamilton celebrated on the top step, his team-mate Charles Leclerc was forced to retire from the race after encountering power steering issues.
"I feel horrible for Lec as his fan, but first and foremost, I am a Ferrari fan," another fan commented. "This is slightly bittersweet, but come on. A win is a win, it’s good to see Lewis back in form, and I got a new load of hopium. FORZA FERRARI! We are soooo back!!!! Keep pushing, keep trying, and I am sure we’ll get this. God this made me tear up."

Hamilton joined Ferrari in 2025 after a 12-year stint with Mercedes. His first season with the Fred Vasseur-led team saw the British driver struggle to adapt to the squad, but 2026 has so far seen the 41-year-old bounce back.
"Unc still got it. You can’t be mad about this. No fan can be mad about this," another fan posted, while someone else described it as a "true masterclass".
"True masterclass by Sir Lewis. Beat the field on pace and strategy," they wrote.
