Lewis Hamilton's Four-Word X Post After Winning Barcelona Grand Prix Goes Viral Published By, Last Updated: June 14, 2026, 22:35 IST Lewis Hamilton wins Barcelona Grand Prix for Ferrari, ends Kimi Antonelli streak, viral X post and bold strategy revive his title challenge. Rapid Read Lewis Hamilton celebrates his Barcelona GP win (Picture credit: AP) Seven-time Grand Prix champion Lewis Hamilton’s X post after winning the Barcelona Grand Prix has gone viral, with the legendary driver finally winning his first race for Ferrari. He also ended championship leader Kimi Antonelli’s five-race winning streak. Hamilton finished ahead of George Russell and Lando Norris, while Antonelli was forced to abandon in the final stages due to a technical issue.

Hamilton, 41, cut down Antonelli’s title lead to 41 points by triumphing on a Sunday almost two years after he last won a race. “REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE," Hamilton tweeted on Sunday night. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE pic.twitter.com/3LSpSSsWFs— Lewis Hamilton (@LewisHamilton) June 14, 2026 With track temperatures soaring to 51 degrees Celsius, Hamilton committed to an aggressive three-stop strategy that paid off, with his third pit stop coming under a virtual safety car period and giving him a crucial advantage. Ferrari’s upgraded car may well have been fast enough for Hamilton to win anyway, as he recorded the 106th win of his career. “(All of them are) special in their own way, but this one is something else.

When I was young, I watched Ferrari have all their success on TV. I always wondered what it would feel like and it has come," Hamilton said. The legendary driver took an early pit stop on lap 12 to swap his softs for hards, with Mercedes responding on the next lap with hards for George Russell. Russell feared his pit stop had left him vulnerable to Antonelli, but he reclaimed the lead from Hamilton, while his teenage teammate slotted back into third after making his own stop for hard tyres. With Hamilton 2.3 seconds behind Russell, he said “we are on Plan C" over team radio. The seven-time champion pitted for the second time in the 28th lap, with Mercedes deciding not to do the same due to the threat of 2025 champion Norris.
