A \u201crebuilt\u201d mind, family and friends, and an innovative part called the Macarena. These are just some of the building blocks in Lewis Hamilton\u2019s resurgence at the front of the Formula 1<\/a> field.<\/p>

The seven-time champion\u2019s breakthrough first win with Ferrari<\/a> on Sunday, his first since 2024, left him second in the standings and cut into the overall lead of Kimi Antonelli, the driver who replaced Hamilton when he left Mercedes.<\/p>\n

Getting back to the front has been a long and painful process<\/a> and Hamilton shed some light on his journey after the win in Spain.<\/p>\n

Hamilton said he\u2019d trained harder than ever ahead of this season to keep up with younger rivals like the 19-year-old Antonelli<\/a> , after an injury dogged him through 2025 and he started to doubt his abilities.<\/p>\n

That paid off as Hamilton became, at 41 years, 5 months, the oldest F1 winner since 1970, but it wasn\u2019t all about physical fitness. Mental wellbeing has been central to his recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve rebuilt my mind to this point, to get myself back to where I was,\u201d he said Sunday, adding he\u2019d focused on a message of \u201cnever second-guess yourself, never doubt yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

That meant a social media detox and valuable real-world time with family and friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m only human. So, you know, there\u2019s moments where I see the stuff (on social media) and for sure there\u2019s moments where I allowed it to get to me and penetrate deeply,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went through a sequence of unplugging from that matrix. I spent lots of time with family, lots of time with friends, real people that know me, that have never doubted me, have stuck to and by me my whole life.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the track, Hamilton\u2019s had support from Kim Kardashian<\/a> , while he and his new race engineer Carlo Santi have been exchanging warm words of support over the radio after often-awkward exchanges<\/a> with Riccardo Adami last year.<\/p>\n

Signing Hamilton in 2024 was something of a risk for Ferrari, too, given that when the move was announced<\/a> , his most recent win had been more than two years before.<\/p>

With plenty of runner-up finishes but no constructors\u2019 title since 2008, under team principal Fred Vasseur\u2019s leadership, Ferrari seems keener to take risks in a push to speed clear of the field rather than just be among the leading pack.<\/p>\n

Hamilton talked up his meetings with senior Ferrari staff last year to plan out 2026, and the collaborative approach seems to be working.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese guys have really listened and really worked hard to add performance and be innovative. This year is all about innovation,\u201d Hamilton said, singling out the \u201cMacarena\u201d rear wing, which turns upside-down for better straight-line speed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is what I was asking for last year. This team has to be the leaders in that, and they\u2019ve shown that they can and they will.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff brought out an old F1 cliche Sunday after watching Antonelli break down on track, the second Mercedes non-finish in three races.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo finish first, first you have to finish,\u201d he told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n

Hamilton is the only driver to finish in the top 10 of every race this season while Mercedes seeks to sort out its issues. That streak of results might not last for Hamilton, though. Teammate Charles Leclerc had to retire Sunday with an issue affecting his brakes and steering.<\/p>\n

Hamilton says an historic eighth title hasn\u2019t been on his mind, and Antonelli\u2019s lead still stands at a formidable 41 points. Still, there are grounds for optimism for Hamilton.<\/p>\n

F1 is heading into a run of European tracks which Hamilton knows well \u2014 including his home race in Britain next month \u2014 and where Antonelli largely underperformed last year.<\/p>\n

In terms of car development, Wolff has suggested spending limits could restrict Mercedes\u2019 response to the package of new parts Ferrari used so effectively in Barcelona.<\/p>
