  Hamilton Crashes During Ferrari Test in Barcelona but Escapes Unharmed

Lewis Hamilton experienced a minor crash during Ferrari’s private testing session at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as he continues adjusting to his new team ahead of the 2025 Formula 1 season.

    Hamilton’s Adaptation to Ferrari Continues in Barcelona

Ferrari is currently conducting a three-day test with its 2023 car, giving Hamilton and his new teammate Charles Leclerc additional track time before pre-season testing in Bahrain from February 26-28. This marks an important phase for Hamilton, who is still familiarizing himself with Ferrari’s systems, cars, and operational methods.

    Crash Considered a Routine Testing Incident

Sky Sports News has reported that Hamilton was uninjured in the crash, and the incident was considered a normal occurrence in testing. The crash took place on the second day of Ferrari’s private session, with Hamilton scheduled to drive in the morning before handing the car over to Leclerc in the afternoon. However, Leclerc did not run after Hamilton’s accident.

This was Hamilton’s third day behind the wheel of the SF-23, following his highly anticipated Ferrari debut at Fiorano last week, where he completed 30 laps.

    Limited Information on the Crash

Ferrari has not provided specific details about the nature of Hamilton’s off-track incident, as the test is being conducted behind closed doors. However, with pre-season testing in Bahrain approaching, the team will be keen to ensure Hamilton is fully prepared for his competitive debut in red.
