Charles Leclerc topped the timesheets in the final practice session ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix, demonstrating strong pace for Ferrari. The session was marked by a significant incident involving Lewis Hamilton, who lost control of his Mercedes and collided with the trackside barriers.

While Leclerc secured the fastest lap, the focus quickly shifted to the damage sustained by Hamilton’s vehicle. The crash necessitated a brief pause in proceedings to clear debris and ensure the safety of the track. Following the impact, Hamilton was able to exit his car unaided, though the incident raised questions regarding the car's handling and the potential impact on his qualifying performance later in the day.

Technical teams from Mercedes were seen assessing the damage to the car to determine if necessary repairs could be completed before the qualifying session. The practice session provided teams with their final opportunity to adjust vehicle setups under conditions similar to those expected for the race. With Leclerc leading the pack, the competitive landscape remains tight as teams analyze data from the session to refine their strategies for the remainder of the weekend.
