Lewis Hamilton was reportedly left delighted after testing for Ferrari despite crashing his car on the second day of running. He gained some valuable track time at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya earlier this week, aiding Ferrari preparations for the new season with three days of testing.

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