168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has hinted that trying to “find the limits” at Ferrari led to his F1 testing crash.

Hamilton crashed out on the second day of his first TPC test wit🤡h Ferrari at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catal💟unya.

All drivers on the grid are entitled to 1,000km of running in an older F1 car throughout the entire 𒆙year.

To ge🤡t Hamilton up to speed ahead of the new season, Ferrari organised a test at the Spanish GಞP circuit in the 2023 car.

While the first day went smoothlyꦏ, it was widely reported that Hamilton shunted the SF-23 in the final sector on day two.

This meant that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc couldn’t run in the car again and had to wait untꦜil the following week’s Pirelli tyre test.

Specific details or footage of the crash haven’t emerged, and Hamilton has not directly addressed it du👍ring his various interviews since.

However, during an official interview, Hamilton briefly mentioned hi✃s 🙈first tests with the team, laughing when he said, “I definitely did that,” as referenced the need to find the car's limit.

“I’ve enjoyed the testing that we’ve had,” Hamilton said. I’ve had to find the limits✅ as quickly as possible bec🦩ause I’ve only had a handful of days and I definitely did that. It’s just been fun.

“Each week has been so different. There’s ꦬstill a long road ahead of us and a lot of challenges for sure.

“I think we’ve cover🗹ed as♎ much as we could possibly cover in the small time we’ve had so far.”

“Everything is just so different” at Ferrari

Hamilton will hav🌊e to get up to speed quickly with pre-s🍃eason testing, and then the season-opener fast approaching.

The 40-year-old got to drive Ferrari’s 202ꦡ5 car on Wednesday at the team’s home track at Fiorano.

An added challenge for Hamilton w꧃ill be adapting to a new team, as he’s always driven with a Mercedes power unit throughout his career.

Reflecting on his first weeks with the ꦺteam, Hamilton noted how everyone at Fer🔥rari is “very hungry” for success.

“So I’ve been workin♔g with the engineers since day two of being at the facto🧜ry,” he added.

“Trying to get to know them and have them get to know me as quickly as possible. Everyt🌠hing’s just so different here. I remember when I moved from McLaren to Mercedes, that was a big leap, but it was still the Mer♍cedes engine. There were some similarities but coming here to Italy.

“Everything is just so different. The tools in which we use, the lan💜guage element, b🎐ut everyone has been amazing to work with so far. Clearly, everyone’s very hungry, super driven, massively committed.”
