Lewis Hamilton suffered a minor scare during Azerbaijan Grand Prix practice, breaking his Ferrari front-wing against a wall.
With the session heavily delayed due to a separate incident involving a loose kerb at Turn 16, it resumed after a delay of nearly 30 minutes, leaving the field just over 20 minutes of running.
Rounding the left-hander at Turn 5, Hamilton clipped the inside wall, breaking off the left-hand endplate of his car as he crawled back to the pits.
Fortunately, the car was otherwise undamaged as he made his way back to the pits for a new front-wing, rejoining to finish 13th overall in the session, with team-mate Charles Leclerc third, behind a Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri one-two for McLaren.
