David Coulthard puts forward explanation for Lewis Hamilton’s Barcelona crash
“And it doesn’t matter if you were the late, great Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, or the current Ferrari driver, Lewis 🦂Hamilton, we can all have an off at any certain point.”

Ex-F1 driver David Coulthard has suggested 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s crash during his first Barcelona test was ꦍrelated to the ꦅdifference in power delivery from the Ferrari engine.

Coulthard puts forward Hamilton theory
For the first time💙 in his F1 career, Hamilton is not driv🐭ing with a Mercedes engine.
Mercedes powered McLaren durin💟g h𒉰is six years with the team between 2007 and 2012.
Then he spent 12 seasons with Mercedes fro🥀m 2013 to 2024.
The various F1 power units have slightly different q🌳uirks - something Hamilton must adapꦇt to.
Giving his view on the, Coulthard said: “Much was made about his recent test in Barcelona, he had a small off there, any small off you can🐼 call a crash.
“And I was at the Autosport Awards last night and walking the red carpet. The more tabloidy journalists that were invitedto that were all going, ‘Oh, what have you heard about 🥀the crash?’
“Going off is an occupational hazard. And it doesn’t matter 𒐪if you were the late, great Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, or the current Ferrari driver, Lewis Hamilton, we can all have an off aಌt any certain point.
“And I see it as simply as this. He has to get u𒆙sed to the control𒉰 systems in that Ferrari, the power delivery.
“We’re dealing wit𝓡h hybrid engines, so it’s not the sort of natural torque acceleration of an internal combus💞tion engine, electrical energy comes in like that. And I suspect it was just, he’s so embedded in his mind about the Mercedes hybrid Formula 1 engine that he was simply caught out.”
Hamilton’s second F1 test in Barcelona went smoothly as he drove Ferrari’s ☂2024 F1 challenger - the SF-24.
The 40-year-old’s next👍 on-track appearance is set to be at Fiorano, when they lau🐻nch the 2025 car.
