indeed no crash. probably precautionary stop after some data warnings to prevent damage.

it was a filming day on non race tyres
do you think that they use street legal tyres ? :wink:

of course those 40 laps were not meant to seek absolute performance
but you can find in advance little set up- assembly-leakage-mechanical problems that inevitably other teams woudl find today.
I don't think that this would be a big mess for the others...there are 4 full days of testing after all...simply this first day they will do less laps than merc for sure...

Looks like the front wing fell off - maybe those tiny pillars are too small.

yes front wing clearly already was off. perhaps it's an idea to implement a rule to use cords like they do with the wheels to prevent the wing slipping under the wheels?

Hamilton crashing Merc´s in Jerez is almost a tradition by this point :)

Looks like a Alonso (Malaysia 2013) type of crash, Rosberg had a FW failure in South-Korea apparently haven't fix the issue....

I will say this again, this is amateurish by the teams, they should have done all these kinds of systems checks ON THE FACTORIES.
