Lewis Hamilton Crashes W04 Car Into Tyre Wall In Jerez (VIDEO)

Mercedes' second test run this morning was again cut short when Lewis Hamilton crashed the new W04 car into a tyre wall at the Jerez circuit. The German team has endured a disappointing start to the first pre-season test in Jerez on Tuesday when Nico Rosberg suffered an electric fault, which caused a short burst of flames at the back of his car. The team will be back in action tomorrow with Nico Rosberg behind the wheel of the W04 car.

"A good start but unfortunately a failure brought our day to an early end. These things happen - it's all part of testing" @lewishamilton
