Hamilton ?lucky? not to crash at Spa

Lewis Hamilton said he was lucky to avoid a huge accident during practice for the Belgian Grand Prix on Friday. The McLaren driver suffered a major twitch approaching the high-speed Blanchimont left-hander during the morning session in conditions that did not seem suited to the intermediate Pirelli tyres he was using at the time. "There was a huge river right the way across the track," the 2008 world champion said.
