The moments leading up to Diogo Jota's crash...
Diogo Jota is thought to have been driving before the crash.
The Lamborghini the father-of-three was travelling in burst into flames following a suspected tyre blowout in the early hours of last Thursday in Zamora, Spain.
A spokesperson for the Guardia Civil of Zamora said that tests are being carried out by its traffic division showed Jota was driving the car at the time.
"The driver of the vehicle was Diogo Jota"
The spokesperson added that the car was thought to be travelling above the speed limit on the road, which local media report is 120kmph (74mph).
The spokesperson said: "The expert report is being carried out and finished, where among other things they are studying the marks (tread) left by one of the wheels of the vehicle.
"Everything also points to a possible high excess of speed over the permitted speed of the road.
"All the tests carried out for the moment point to the fact that the driver of the vehicle was Diogo Jota."
The report has not yet been finalised but will be handed over to the court in the town of Puebla de Sanabria, Zamora.
