Hamilton suffers qualifying crash
Lewis Hamilton was unhurt despite being stretchered away from the Nurburgring after a crash during qualifying for the European Grand Prix.
The 22-year-old Briton went into the tyre wall at the 'Schumacher S' bend and struggled to get out of his McLaren before medical assistance arrived.
McLaren boss Ron Dennis later said that Hamilton was "fine" but was unsure about his fitness for Sunday's race.
The right-front wheel was not attached properly after a wheel gun failure.
Hamilton was taken away on a stretcher but was well enough to give a thumbs-up signal.
The qualifying session was red-flagged while Hamilton was attended to, but officials quickly confirmed that he had been conscious and speaking.
Hamilton was taken by ambulance to the circuit's medical centre.
More soon.

I'm sure I heard him say in an interview he has an advantage over other drivers on this track because he knows it so well

Good to hear that he is going to race today, he is going to have a job on his hands though starting from 10th on the grid. I think a podium is the best he can hope for really.
