Hamilton crashes in final practice for F1 title-deciding Abu Dhabi GP ahead of qualifying
- On Dec 6, 2025, seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton crashed in final practice at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, jeopardising his appearance in qualifying later Saturday.
- After losing the rear through Turn 9 at the Yas Marina Circuit, Hamilton spun 360 degrees before slamming into the barriers, causing significant front-end damage to his Ferrari.
- The one-hour final practice session was red-flagged for 13 minutes while Hamilton's Ferrari was removed, and he said `Something buckled at the front and snapped the rear.`
- Pole position matters at Abu Dhabi, and with qualifying set for 18:00 local time , Hamilton's mechanics have less than three hours to repair the car on the 58-lap Yas Marina Circuit.
- The crash adds uncertainty to a three-way title fight to be settled on Sunday at Yas Marina Circuit, with Lando Norris leading Max Verstappen by 12 points and Oscar Piastri by 16, all having seven wins.
