Antonelli among winners after subdued Spanish Grand Prix
Multiple outlets highlighted Kimi Antonelli as a winner from the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix, while Lewis Hamilton was also mentioned in post-race assessments. The event marked Formula 1's first visit to Madrid in 45 years, but reports said the inaugural race at the Madring offered little overtaking.
Post-race coverage of the 2026 Spanish Grand Prix identified Kimi Antonelli among the standout performers, with PlanetF1 and Motorsport.com both placing him in their winners and losers assessments. PlanetF1 also noted Lewis Hamilton as one of the drivers featured in its analysis.
According to Motorsport.com, Formula 1's first visit to Madrid in 45 years ran smoothly enough off the track. On the circuit, however, the inaugural race at the Madring was described as underwhelming.
Motorsport.com reported that several awkward corner designs and a lack of proper straight lines made overtaking all but impossible. That contributed to a race weekend which, despite the significance of a new venue, was widely characterized as lacking action.
