Lewis Hamilton crashed during Ferrari’s second day of testing with its 2023 Formula 1 car at the Barcelona circuit on Wednesday. Hamilton’s preparation for his first season with Ferrari included testing the SF-23 alongside new teammate Charles Leclerc. The crash occurred towards the end of Hamilton’s session, but he was reportedly unharmed. Although the incident caused damage to the car, Ferrari was working on repairing it so that Leclerc could resume testing. Following this setback, Hamilton is expected to gain more track time next week in the 2024 car during a Pirelli tyre test at Barcelona. Additionally, Ferrari will be testing a modified SF-24 car to simulate the 2026 rules and assist in tyre development during the upcoming sessions.
