F1 Barcelona Grand Prix 2026 results: Final classification after late penalties applied

Following a historic seventh round of this year's F1 campaign, the final classification from the 2026 Barcelona Grand Prix has been confirmed by the FIA.

On Sunday the motorsport world watched on as seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton finally brought an end to his 686-day winless streak, taking the chequered flag almost 20 seconds ahead of George Russell.

This marked the 41-year-old's 106th grand prix victory of his career and his first since making the move to the Scuderia, and the 25 points that came with the win have now cemented Hamilton as Antonelli's main championship leader.

The Italian teenager was forced to retire in the closing stages of Sunday's race after encountering an engine issue with his Mercedes, but that didn't stop the FIA from throwing a post-race punishment his way.

On Sunday evening, the FIA announced that the stewards had found Antonelli had left the track on four separate occasions for no justifiable reason, slapping him with a five-second penalty as a result.

Luckily for the Silver Arrows star this penalty will not convert to a grid penalty for the Austrian GP next time out thanks to having already completed more than 90 per cent of the race distance before he retired on lap 62.

Franco Colapinto on the other hand was handed a 10-second time penalty which was added on to his final time, demoting him to P10 for failing to slow for yellow flags.

Hamilton fans can now also breathe easy as F1's governing body have confirmed his victory is safe from any last minute penalties or race result changes.
