A gyrating Ferrari was not an uncommon sight on Friday at Interlagos: Lewis Hamilton pulled a dramatic 720-degree spin when his SF-25 bottomed out at Mergulho in FP1.
This second sector at the Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace is characterised by bumps and changes of camber and gradient. Three corners earlier is where Hamilton’s team-mate Charles Leclerc spun in the second portion of sprint qualifying, bringing out yellow flags which then caused Hamilton to cross the finishing line after the chequered flag had been waved, so he lost any opportunity of going for another push lap.
