Dunc Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Lewis Hamilton's first day of testing for his new Mercedes team got off to a bad start when he crashed after 15 laps because of a braking problem. The 2008 world champion lost control at the end of the back straight at the Jerez circuit in southern Spain. Hamilton was unhurt after ploughing across a gravel trap and into a tyre wall. The team were unable to fix the car in time to run again, continuing a troubled start to their 2013 campaign. "I'm just glad that firstly I'm safe and that it's happened now, not when we're in the season or something," said Hamilton. "This is what testing is about. It's about getting through those development phases, errors or whatever they may be and working on them and that's what the guys are doing."
