Lewis Hamilton Crash Triggers FIA Order; Kimi Antonelli P1
Hamilton crashed at the final corner and ignored repeated Ferrari orders to stop, delaying FP3 after a red flag and risking a stewards review.
- On Saturday, Lewis Hamilton crashed his Ferrari into the barriers during final practice for the Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid's new circuit, triggering a red flag after initially ignoring team instructions to stop his damaged car.
- The seven-time world champion lost control under braking for the final corner, damaging his front wing and puncturing his front right tyre. Hamilton attempted to drive the damaged SF-26 back to the pits despite repeated team orders to park safely.
- Race engineer Carlo Santi repeatedly instructed Hamilton to "stop in the safest place possible," but only an order from the FIA Race Director forced him to pull over trackside, causing a lengthy delay for barrier repairs.
- Sky Sports analyst Anthony Davidson suggested stewards could penalize Hamilton, noting F1's 2026 regulations state that "driving with, or failing to stop a car with significant or obvious damage" could result in a grid penalty.
- Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli set the fastest time in the truncated session, leaving teams with a tight turnaround for repairs before qualifying later today, a critical session for Sunday's inaugural race at the new street circuit.
