The reason behind Lewis Hamilton 's first Ferrari crash has been revealed, after a less than perfect first track day away from Maranello. The seven-time world champion completed his move to the Scuderia over the winter, and has been getting accustomed to the team's 2023 car before he's finally allowed to step into the 2025 edition.

The incident happened during a three-day test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in the team’s 2023 F1 car.

Hamilton’s struggles, particularly over one lap, have led to questions being raised about his ability and whether he might be past his peak performance. Sky Sports commentator Martin Brundle recently suggested that Hamilton had lost his edge but is still capable of winning a record-breaking eighth world title with Ferrari.
