Wins first race with Ferrari
Hamilton won the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix F1 race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Hamilton turned back the clock with a vintage performance to take home his first win with Ferrari. After starting in second, Hamilton employed a rare three-stop strategy at the Barcelona-Catalunya Circuit and was turning in extremely fast lap times throughout the race. He struck a bit of good fortune when a Virtual Safety Car was deployed only a handful of laps after George Russell and Kimi Antonelli pitted, giving Hamilton a less costly final stop. That allowed him to maintain the lead and track position, though he was ultimately able to pull away to win the race by nearly 20 seconds. While there was some luck involved, Hamilton was clearly the fastest driver of the day and has now finished on the podium in three straight races.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After a rough start to his 2022 season, Hamilton found more challenge in competing with his teammate than the Red Bulls last year, going without a single win for the first time since joining Formula One despite finishing on the podium a total of nine times. The Mercedes engineers were hard at work attempting to fix an aero issue on Hamilton's W13 for most of the season, and the driver of the No. 44 claims that the bouncing of the car served as a major roadblock between the Brit and finishing first-place. Regardless, last year was Hamilton's first year finishing behind his teammate in the points (Lewis coming in sixth, with George Russell finishing fourth) since the same happened in 2016 with Nico Rosberg. The 2023 season will be a big year for Hamilton if he wants to make another push for the world title, with a championship run only possible if Mercedes is able to provide a car without the previous season's detrimental issues.
