An unbelievable coincidence surrounds Lewis Hamilton’s crash today—something that has always happened before.
As reported earlier, Hamilton hit the barriers before the main straight at Barcelona during Ferrari’s TPC test with the SF-23. While social media is already buzzing with criticism and concerns, this is actually a well-known pattern for the British driver.
Hamilton Crashes in Barcelona: What Happened?
At around 11:00 AM, Hamilton lost control in the final sector of the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, slamming into the barriers. The impact was heavy, though the driver escaped unharmed. However, the car sustained chassis and suspension damage.
The exact cause of the crash is still unclear, but the SF-23 used in the test is in terrible condition, and Charles Leclerc’s scheduled run this afternoon is now likely to be delayed.
