Hamilton crashes Mercedes on opening day

Lewis Hamilton's first day of testing ended prematurely after his Mercedes W05 ended up in the turn one barrier just before lunchtime.

The Mercedes suffered heavy damage to the front, ending his day far earlier than he'd hoped. At the time of the incident, Hamilton was the fastest man on the circuit.
