Ricciardo goes fastest. Hamilton now on track.

1:19:5 for Hammy. Looks like his fastest lap so far.

Hamilton has just put his new Mercedes in a tyre barrier

Red flag = Hamilton

whoooopsyyyyy

The people on the pf1 news articles will have such a go at him. Loads of haters on there.

pushing too hard to early perhaps. hope its not the day over for merc again

The Briton is in the gravel at Dry Sack - from the tyre marks, looks like he's locked up and ploughed straight through the gravel.

hes in the gravel, so i imagine recoverable - same number of laps as Nico 15

Need pictures..... is car damaged

thats gotta be a fixer upper

He has gone straight into the tyres so hopefully it is just nose damage.

You can tell from the tyre tracks the car bounced back off the barrier. So front wing/nose is gone for sure.... just wonder about front suspention.

already posted mate

suspension looks ok from that angle so hopefully just cosmetic damage on the nose

Front left tyre looks different angle to right. so I think its a good few hours gone at least

don't text/twitter while driving!

Update from Mercedes: "Lewis is back in the garage, we're waiting for the car to return to find out what happened"

if i was schumacher i would just now call ross brawn to ask: "Now, what happened there?!"

If i was schumacher i'd be at home doing whatever i wanted with my fortune

I think someone needs to add a bit more gravel, or at least loosen up the stuff there, it looks like it just acted as a less than effective road

Sat at home, following testing online and on the Planet F1 forums of course

Lewis' Merc back in the garage after his small crash.. Minus a front wing, plus some gravel. Not the best test so far..

Lotus looks really good. Solid on both days and I can't wait to see how Kimi fares tomorrow.

Go Grosjean, go Grosjean, WDC for Grosjean!

*I knowwww, it's only testing, I'm just showing my support.

Seems Hamilton wanted to get his first crashed in early then, get them out of the way for the season.

STR also looking good. I wonder what they're testing this morning, most of their runs have been up there in pace with the occasional slow lap for whatever purpose or reason

Agreed...probably the most consistently quick team so far today. I wonder what tyres they are using
