Hamilton drives new Mercedes into barrier at tests
JEREZ, Spain (AP) Lewis Hamilton drove his new Mercedes into the barrier during Formula One's first preseason session on Tuesday, only hours after its unveiling.
Hamilton emerged unscathed from the crash that his team said was caused by a front wing failure. Hamilton and teammate Nico Rosberg presented Mercedes' silver-and-turquoise W05 before testing got under way, and the former champion was the first to take his car out and the first to complete a full lap at the Jerez track.
He drove into the barrier at turn 1 midway through the session, leaving debris and long tire marks before he went off the asphalt. So far, few drivers have ventured out as teams struggle with new engineering rules that have caused them to revamp their cars.
There have been three red flags, including Hamilton's. Of the five drivers who have taken to the track in southern Spain, only two have completed laps so far.
