Hamilton’s crash
Lewis Hamilton took part in a Superbike trackday at Jerez last Saturday, suffering a small crash in the process. Hamilton was riding a Yamaha YZF-R1, the same bike used in the World Superbike championship by the works-backed Crescent team this year. Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport reported the Mercedes F1 driver worked with Crescent during the test, which was organised by British trackday firm No Limits. His day was hampered by a small crash, but he escaped the incident without any injuries, and was able to continue riding afterwards.
