Hat trick of crashes for Hamilton

At the present time, it would seem that nothing is going right for Lewis Hamilton. After two retirements in succession, the McLaren driver wanted to hold nothing back in Suzuka but his initial salvo fell wide of the mark. During first practice Friday, he crashed into the barriers on the Degner turn. Lewis went over the kerbs then skidded onto the gravel and was unable to avoid the wall. His near-side front wheel buckled and practice came to an early end.
