Hamilton, Russell and Norris complete all-British podium at Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix

Sir Lewis Hamilton has won his first Formula 1 Grand Prix victory with Ferrari, while George Russell and defending champion Lando Norris made it the first all-British podium since 1968.

Hamilton's victory at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix was the 106th of the seven-time world champion's career, and at 41, also made him the oldest race winner since Jack Brabham in 1970, who was 43 years 11 months at his last win in South Africa.

Championship leader Kimi Antonelli saw his lead over Hamilton slashed from 66 points to 41 after being forced to retire five laps from the end of the race.

The last all-British podium occurred in 1968, when Sir Jackie Stewart, Graham Hill and John Surtees all took the top three spots at that year's US Grand Prix.

It was also the first time any country had drivers in the top three since 1983, when France's Patrick Tambay, Alain Prost and Rene Arnoux swept the podium at the San Marino Grand Prix.

Speaking after the race, the seven-time world champion thanked his Ferrari team for their role in the victory.

"I started out [on] a dream which seemed almost impossible during my time last year, but we never gave up hope, and the team continued to lift me up. We made so many changes, and we made so many improvements."

Hamilton added that all his victories are special in their own way, but his first with Ferrari is "something else".

"I watched Ferrari have all that success when I was younger, watching it on TV. And as I've been racing here, I'd always watched the screens and wondered what it would be like to win in that car - and it's come."

Hamilton's victory was aided by Antonelli suffering an engine failure late in the race shortly after overtaking his Mercedes teammate Russell - making it the second straight year he'd failed to finish in Barcelona.

"There is a long, long way to go, and they've still got great pace, as you can see. But we are going to keep working and trying to close that gap.

"It's not over, that's for sure."

Russell, who made his first podium since March and gained his first points after retiring in Canada and a 12th-placed finish in Monaco, acknowledged Hamilton's accomplishment.

"I know how hard he works. We spent a lot of years together at Mercedes, so I'm really pleased to see him back to the Lewis I remember when I was growing up."

He said while it was good to be back on the podium, Mercedes needs to keep pushing after Ferrari's performance.

"Yesterday was a real surprise for the team, and today the pace was insane from Lewis. They are coming, I think."

Defending world champion Norris, whose third-place finish saw him rise to fifth in the championship standings, said it was a tough race for McLaren.

"We gave ourselves a chance if anything happened, and we obviously got a bit lucky with Antonelli going out.

"We're doing a good job as a team. I think we're making good progress, but these guys are just doing a better job.

Norris said the team have to keep working hard and putting in the effort to ensure they'll be back on top.

Hamilton, who is second in the Driver's Championship standings, is now on 115 points, 41 behind leader Antonelli on 156.

Russell is now up to third on 106 points, with Norris in fifth on 73 points, two points behind Hamilton's Ferrari teammate Charles LeClerc in fourth.

The next Formula One race takes place in Austria in two weeks.
