Hamilton crashes during practice
Lewis Hamilton has suffered his second major shunt of a Formula One weekend ahead of this Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix.
With just over nine minutes of the second practice session at the Sakhir circuit remaining, Hamilton slammed his McLaren sideways into a tyre wall.
After a few moments to compose himself, Hamilton emerged from his badly-damaged car before taking a look at the rear, suggesting that is where his problem lay.
The young Briton was then taken back to the McLaren garage on the back of a motorbike, while his car was craned onto the back of a truck and returned to the pits for repairs.
Fortunately Hamilton appeared unharmed, unlike at last year's European Grand Prix at the Nurburging when he ploughed nose first into a tyre wall in qualifying, suffering severely bruised ribs.
