Hamilton: “We’ve come a little closer to Red Bull, step by step”
Lewis Hamilton said that today’s double podium for Mercedes at the Spanish Grand Prix heralded the former champion’s comeback to close the performance gap that separates them from Red Bull and Max Verstappen.
At a circuit that perfectly reflects the aerodynamic performance of the cars, Mercedes’ speed over these two weeks showed that the extensive and radical modernizations of the W14 in Monaco and Spain over the last two weekends were beginning to pay off.
At the Spanish Grand Prix, Formula One’s seventh race of the year, Mercedes took both sides of the podium and although the gap to winner Max Verstappen was considerable, Hamilton said it was a first step to get the team back in contention to bring sports.
Hamilton moved up to 2nd from 4th on the grid and Russell from 12th to 3rd as the Mercedes W14 had a significantly faster race pace than Ferrari and Aston Martin at Barcelona. And he also beat Sergio Perez in the other Red Bull RB19, helped by the Mexican’s 11th starting position.
“What a result for our team, we certainly didn’t expect this result today.” said Hamilton finally. “So I want to take my hat off to the team. A big thank you to everyone at the factory who keeps pushing and bringing us that little bit closer to Red Bull. They’re still a little ahead but we’ll do it.” Keep chasing them but today the result was amazing. And George did a great job.”
When asked by Nico Rosberg (!) at Park-Ferme about the team’s competitiveness against RBR, Lewis replied: “I believe that [η Red Bull] It’s too fast at the moment, but we’re working on it. Step by step and if we can get them by the end of the season that will be great. But if not, next year.”
For his part, Russell hoped today’s result was a portent of all that lies ahead for the Brackley side: “I’m undoubtedly a bit surprised. Many thanks to the team that gave me a really good car today. From 12th to 3rd place it was a strong race for us. I hope this is a sign for the future.”emphasized the young Briton.

For one more season, 19 in a row from 2007, Toni Bou, together with Busto and Marcelli, achieved their annual goal of winning titles in all outdoor and indoor competitions: Montesa Cota 4RT, X Trial, Trial GP and Trial of Nations. The Repsol Honda Team rider has taken his world title tally to 38 and, if the back tendon injury does not interfere with the indoor competition in 2025-26, where he is already in the lead, he will set off for his next year in 2026, which will be an “incredible challenge to achieve 40 titles at the age of 40”.
In 2025, one of the “greatest players”, Adam Raga, six-time world champion from 2003 to 2006 and historical rival of Toni Bowe, retired. He passes the baton to Jaime Busto and Gabriel Marcelli.
Josep Garcia also won a pair of enduro titles. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing rider Josep Garcia reconfirmed his EnduroGP and E1 world titles and led the prestigious ISDE to become a great world leader in the specialty field. The 29-year-old Suria rider has won seven world titles: four in E1 (2017, 2023, 2024, 2025), one in E2 (2021) and two in EnduroGP (2024 and 2025).

Two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso added the new high-performance SUV Aston Martin DBX S to his car collection. The driver took delivery of the car, valued at more than $260,000, a few days before Christmas in Monte Carlo, where he was photographed next to the new product near the Aston Martin dealership in Monaco.
Powered by Mercedes’ 727 horsepower 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, the DBX S reaches 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. The new SUV joins Alonso’s collection, which already includes the Aston Martin Valiant and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR.
With 2026 rule changes approaching, Alonso and Aston Martin hope the new DBX S will signal the beginning of better times. The team’s new technical partnership with Honda and Adrian Newey’s experience pave the way for Aston Martin to challenge for top spot next season.

Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton has admitted he has had to significantly change his daily training regime as he gets older to cope with the physical and mental demands of the World Championship. The 40-year-old Ferrari driver is preparing for his 20th season in F1 and is the second oldest driver on the grid after Fernando Alonso.
The Briton stated that his preparation is now much tighter than at the beginning of his career, with recovery playing a key role in maintaining a competitive level.
“The regime has changed, it has improved. I still love running. This morning I ran 6 to 8 miles. Then I took an ice bath. But above all, the first thing I do as soon as I get out of bed is stretch,” Hamilton said.
According to the pilot, in order not to gain excessive weight, he limits strength training and prefers pilates, yoga and interval training. At the same time, there are two elements that he does not reject under any circumstances.
“Ice baths are not an option. Before, I didn’t really think about recovery: I just trained and got on with my life. Now stretching and ice baths are things I force myself to do every day,” Hamilton emphasized.
The seven-time champion athlete attaches great importance to mental health as well as physical training. He admitted that breathing exercises, meditation and yoga helped him cope with the stress of the 24-stage season.
The Ferrari driver concluded: “An ice bath teaches you to control your breathing and fight the urge to give up. This helps me stay positive throughout the year.”
