🇪🇸🏁 MADRID GRAND PRIX RACE REACTION!

WHAT A FIRST RACE AT MADRING! 🤯

Kimi Antonelli WINS the Madrid Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen taking P2 and Lando Norris completing the podium in P3!

But this race could have ended very differently…

Lando started from POLE, held the lead and looked like he had a genuine opportunity to win — until the Virtual Safety Car completely changed the race.

Antonelli and Verstappen benefited from the timing, while Lando was caught out and then suffered a costly slow pit stop.

From there, the fight was on! 🔥

In this video, I'm talking about:

🏆 Kimi Antonelli winning in Madrid 🐂 Max Verstappen finishing P2 🧡 Lando Norris going from pole to P3 🚨 The Virtual Safety Car that changed the race 🔧 Lando's costly pit stop 🔴 Charles Leclerc finishing P4 ⚫ George Russell taking P5 🔥 Liam Lawson finishing P6 🧡 Oscar Piastri recovering to P8 💥 Lewis Hamilton retiring with brake problems 🇪🇸 All the biggest moments from the first Madrid Grand Prix!

For Antonelli, it's another massive victory in his incredible 2026 season.

For Lando?

This definitely feels like one that got away. 💔🧡

But that's Formula 1.

One VSC.

One pit stop.

One moment.

And the entire race can change.

💬 What did YOU think of the Madrid Grand Prix?

Was Lando unlucky?

Could McLaren have won?

What did you make of Antonelli's victory?

And who was your Driver of the Day?

Final practice at Madring is DONE — and things are getting seriously close ahead of qualifying! 👀

Kimi Antonelli goes fastest, but McLaren have come fighting back with Oscar Piastri P3 and Lando Norris P4! 🧡
