Rosberg crashes hard in Spain

Williams F1 driver Nico Rosberg has crashed his FW29 hard at Circuit de Catalunya this morning. His car was completely wrecked but it looked like Rosberg could get out of the car without any problems.

In Spain the Formula 1 teams are testing at Circuit de Catalunya until Thursday to prepare themselves for the Spanish Grand Prix (13 May).

"Nico is doing fine fortunately," a Williams spokesperson told GPUpdate.net. "At the moment the team can not say if the car will be out on track again today, but on Thursday there is another day of testing."
