Lewis Hamilton was not injured on Wednesday when he crashed his Ferrari during a team test in Barcelona, Spain.
A seven-time Formula 1 world champion, Hamilton is preparing for his first season with the Ferrari team after 12 years with Mercedes.
The crash occurred on the second test day at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. He was driving a 2023 spec car, and the Ferrari team was left to fix the car so that Charles Leclerc could run his tests.
The crash was not believed to worry Ferrari officials, with such incidents not uncommon as drivers get accustomed to new machinery.
Hamilton is limited to driving a spec car, with the number of miles restricted, under F1 rules.
Hamilton, 40, is scheduled to make his team debut at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne the weekend of March 14-16.
He will get another chance to practice next week on the same track in Barcelona, this time in a 2024 spec car.
On Feb. 19, he is set to drive the 2025 model for the first time, with a preseason test in Bahrain scheduled for the following week.
