Lewis Hamilton had a rather serious crash this morning during practice sessions on the Hockenheim race track. Hamilton was preparing for this weekends race when he lost control of his McLaren MP4-25 F1 car and hit the tires of the side barrier. As seen in the video, Hamilton's racer was heavily damaged but reports say the former F1 champion got out without injuries. Apparently, the reason for Hamilton's crash was the wet track and the fact that he might have entered the turn incorrectly.
The worst part of the crash is that McLaren was testing a new diffuser on the MP4-25 Formula 1 racer which got completely destroyed. Lewis will have to race without it this weekend.
Fortunately for Hamilton, the weather forecast for this weekend says rain and he is one of the best drivers in this kind of conditions. If it does rain on Sunday, Hamilton has a real chance of winning.
