Ferrari reveal substantial changes to Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari after crash

Lewis Hamilton has given his Ferrari mechanics a rebuild job ahead of qualifying after he crashed at the end of final practice at the F1 Monaco Grand Prix. 

The seven-time world champion hit the wall on his final flying lap of FP3, bringing out the red flag and causing a premature end to the final hour of practice running. 

Hamilton whacked the barriers at Massenet, causing significant damage to the right-hand side of his Ferrari, before coming to a stop at the entrance to Casino Square. 

"Sorry guys. I've hit the wall," Hamilton reported over team radio. 

The front right tyre of Hamilton's SF25 took the brunt of the impact.

The incident is a blow for Hamilton going into qualifying, and means his Ferrari mechanics will have to work through lunch to get his car fixed. 

Hamilton ended the session fifth-fastest, six tenths down on teammate Charles Leclerc who set the pace.

Ferrari reveal changes to Hamilton's car

Ferrari confirmed they have made significant changes to Hamilton's car in time for qualifying. 

The nose, front wing and right front suspension has been replaced, while the entire rear-end, including the gearbox has been repaired. 

"On Lewis’ car we changed the nose, front wing and right front suspension," a Ferrari spokesperson confirmed to media including Crash.net. 

"We also replaced the entire rear end, including left and right hand suspension and gearbox as this is a quicker procedure than simply changing the damaged right rear suspension."
