Lewis Hamilton Crashes in Final Practice at Madrid's New Spanish Grand Prix CircuitPreviousNext

During the final practice session for the inaugural Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid's new Madring circuit, Lewis Hamilton crashed into the barriers after locking up at a corner, damaging his Ferrari's front wing and puncturing a tyre. Despite team instructions, he attempted to return to the pits before stopping. The session was red-flagged, interrupting Hamilton's promising run. Max Verstappen described the challenging street circuit as not his favorite but acknowledged the organizers' efforts. Kimi Antonelli led practice times, with Ferrari and Mercedes drivers showing strong pace amid incidents from rookies and other drivers.
