The cause of the incident which saw the 2008 champion walk out unhurt was tied to a failure of his front wing spoiler.

Other teams have been going out for single-lap runs, starting a few hours after we had first hit the track, so to have started running through our test programme was very encouraging. The car feels quite good, especially considering it&#8217;s so early in our programme, so overall it&#8217;s been a positive day. Of course, it&#8217;s unfortunate to end the day early when everyone has worked so hard and we had looked like easily completing the most mileage of anyone here today, but we&#8217;ll make that track time back and it&#8217;s better to have these things happen now than in Melbourne. I&#8217;m really proud of the team for what they&#8217;ve achieved in getting us here and we&#8217;ll keep pushing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>[Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www1.skysports.com\/f1\/news\/24181\/9137875\/mercedes-lewis-hamilton-crashes-out-of-day-one-testing-at-jerez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skysports<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lewis Hamilton suffered a mishap at the Jerez Circuit during day one testing after he crashed into the barriers at turn 1 of the circuit.
