Hamilton crash delays completion of final practice session at Madring | Formula 1

The final practice session for the Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring was disrupted due to a crash involving Lewis Hamilton. He damaged a barrier at turn 22 after understeering off the track, prompting a red flag for repairs. Hamilton's car sustained minor damage, and he attempted to return to the pits before being advised to stop by his team.

The session was halted approximately 23 minutes in, with Charles Leclerc leading the timesheets at that point. Race control later announced that the session would resume at 1:32pm, just two minutes after the originally scheduled end time.
