Machinery theory touted as explanation for Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari crash
“That’s something to factor in - it was a difficult car to drive.﷽”

The specific car 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton was driving when he crashed in testing for Ferrari has been identified as a possible cause.
Hamilton caused a stir with a minor incident which caused a Ferrari test day to end prematurely, even meaning teammat🦩e Charles Leclerc’s programme was postponed.
But Hamilton was driving the SF-23, the trouble𓂃some 2023 Ferrari which may have contributed to his small crash.
“There is mystery𒐪 surrounding certain elements of it,” Lewis Larkam told the Crash F1 podcast.
“Ferrari have not commented on i🍎t, understandably they want to keep it private.
“A source has told me it was a minor incident.
“For them, it was nothing more than a small incident and a normal part of testing, particularly whe🐼n you consider Hamilton is used to driving for Mercedes.
“It’s an expected part of testing wꦜhen a driver is learning a car, and pushing th🐷e limits of what that car can do, learning where the boundaries are.
“If you test long enough, you will have an issue or end ꦏup in the gravel.
“There are details we’re unsu🃏re about, conflicting reports about the size of the incident, and🍨 where it took place.
“Some 𒐪reports said there was minor damage, others said it was substantial. We don’t know for sure because Ferrari have kept it under wraps."
SF-23 noted after Lewis Hamilton crash
“It’s worth noting that it was with Ferrari’s worst car൩ of this generation, from 2023," Lewis Larkam continued.
"Part🤡ly due to Red Bull’s dominance. But it w𒅌as a real handful for Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
“Th꧒at’s something to factor i🥂n - it was a difficult car to drive.”
Hamilton has since driven a 2024 version in a Pirelli 🐼tyre test for Ferrari.
His crash won’t cause any l♍ong-term confidence problems, it h𝔉as been claimed.
“Given💟 his CV, his experience and his success, it’s hard to think that it will have affected him,” Connor McDonagh said.
“Maybe there are examples of less experienced drivers - Pierre Gasly had a big crash in testing in 2019 which did affect him. Logan Sarge🏅ant had a decent start then a couple of crashes which ruined him at Williams.
“This was par🐲t and parcel in testing, and something he can learn from.
“The 2023 car in high-spee♈d corners was difficult t🐼o drive.
“It would be more🥃 of a problem ꦇif he’s driving the 2025 car in Bahrain, or in Australia during practice.”
