Lewis Hamilton is right back in contention to end his long F1 win drought at today's Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix (3pm local time, 2pm UK, 9am Eastern).

The 41-year-old Hamilton is looking like his old self in 2026 after a miserable first year at Ferrari, and on Saturday he once again rolled back the years.

The seven-time world champion had been a distant 25/1 shot to win on Sunday after Ferrari struggled in practice on Friday. But qualifying was a very different matter.

Hamilton, who has not won an F1 race since the Belgian Grand Prix in July 2024, qualified in P2 - just 0.064 seconds behind pole sitter George Russell (Mercedes). He is now all the way in to 9/2 third favourite to top the podium on Sunday.

Italian prodigy Kimi Antonelli, who has won the last five F1 races, has work to do on Sunday after qualifying third behind Russell and Hamilton. He is 3/1 second favourite with team-mate Russell heading the market at 8/13.

Reigning world champion Lando Norris is a 16/1 shot for McLaren after qualifying in fourth, with Red Bull superstar Max Verstappen (22/1) next on the grid in P5. The other McLaren, driven by Oscar Piastri, qualified P7 and is a 25/1 chance.

It was another disastrous afternoon for Hamilton's Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc, just six days after he had been a late DNF at his home Monaco Grand Prix. This time the Monegasque star crashed out heavily in Q3 and will start from P10 on the grid.
