Sebastian Vettel crashed his Ferrari on the second day of the final pre-season test in Barcelona, severely curtailing the team’s running.
Vettel lost control after what the team described as “a mechanical problem” at the 150mph Turn Three and hit the barriers, causing extensive damage.
“From the feeling in the car it was an issue with the front-left corner,” the German said.
McLaren’s Carlos Sainz set the fastest time, from Racing Point’s Sergio Perez.
