Antonelli celebrates Norris's mistake in Madrid

The return of Formula 1 to Madrid after 45 years was marked by a significant influence from the 562-meter-long pit lane. The first free practice session on Friday showed a high level of tire degradation, prompting Mercedes' director Toto Wolff to joke about a six-stop strategy.

This ultimately propelled Kimi Antonelli to the top of the podium, making him the first winner in the circuit's history.
