Lewis Hamilton's first Ferrari F1 Crash and Next Steps Explained

Lewis Hamilton crashed in his second day of testing in the Ferrari 2023 car.

The crash happened late in the morning , not right at the very end of Hamilton 's second day .

Charles Leclerc couldn't get back out at the end of running, but that's it.

The key question really is how much of A set back it is, but it is par for the course, says Straw .

Lewis Hamilton crashed in a pre season test ahead of his first season in 2007 of Valencia and the same preseason 2013 after moving to Mercedes .

It's an occupational hazard, drivers are used to this and they can shrug it off because Hamilton has previous for this kind of thing, doesn't he? I don't think it really says anything about Hamilton other than he's a racing driver. He will push to the limit, as he may well have been doing on that lap, in a car you are less familiar with, particularly in winter testing when it's cooler conditions.

The final corner at Barcelona is prime for that kind of tendency, characteristic trait, whatever you want to call it, to bite a driver.

We don't know if there was any kind of car problem.

Hamilton will be back at to Barcelona next week as we record this week .

He's back there doing Pirelli testing of the 2024 Ferrari .
