Antonelli wins 1st Formula 1 race in Madrid in 45 years after unlucky break for pole-sitter Norris

Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli won the Formula 1 Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid on Sunday, marking the sport's return to the city after 45 years. Antonelli capitalized on race developments to secure his second consecutive victory, which extends his lead at the top of the Formula 1 drivers' standings.

Lando Norris had started from pole position and comfortably pulled away in the early stages of the race. However, his bid for victory was derailed by a costly pit stop timing right after a virtual safety car intervention and broader strategy mishaps that dropped him significantly down the field.
