The specific car 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: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 premaไturely, even meaning teammate Charles Leclerc’s programme was postponed.

But Hamilton w♓as driving the SF-23, the troublesome 2023 Ferrari which may have contributed to his ♏small crash.

“There is mystery surrounding certain 🎃elements of it🍬,” Lewis Larkam told the Crash F1 podcast.

“Ferrari have notไ commented on it, understanda꧑bly 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 when you co🐼nsider Hamilton is used to driving for Mercedes.

“It’s an expeꦉcted part of testing when a driver is learning a car, and pushing the limits of what that car can do, learning where the boundaries are.

“If you test long enough, you will have an issue♒ or end up in the gravel.

“There are details we’re unsure about, conflicting reports about t🅘he size of the incident, and wher𝕴e it took place.

“Some reports said there was minor damage, others said it was substantial. We don’t know for sure because Fe𒁏rrari have kept it under wraps."

SF-23 noted after Lewis Hamilton crash

“🅰It’s worth noting that it was with Ferrari’s wor🔴st car of this generation, from 2023," Lewis Larkam continued.

"Partly due to Red Bu𓄧ll’s dominance. But it was a real handful for Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.

“That’s someth𒐪ing to factor in 🐭- it was a difficult car to drive.”

Hamilton has since driven a 2024 version in a Pir🧜elli tyre test for Ferrari.

His crash won’𒆙tಌ cause any long-term confidence problems, it has been claimed.

“Given his CV, his experience and his success, it’s hard to think that it willꦡ 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 Sargeant had a decent start then a couple of crashes which ruined him at Williams.

“This was part and pa✃rcel in testing, and something he can learn from.

“The 2023 car in high-speed cor🏅ners was difficult to dri❀ve.

“It would be more of a problem ifജ he’s driving the 2025 car in Bahrain,♑ or in Australia during practice.”
