Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton almost crashes out on the opening lap of the Hungarian GP.

Lewis Hamilton endured a disastrous first lap in the Hungarian GP after leaving the track as he tried to overtake Nico Rosberg.

Despite starting on pole position, Hamilton had already fallen to fourth at the first corner after a very slow start off the line.

But worse was to follow when the world champion attempted to overtake his Mercedes team-mate only to lock-up his tyres and slide off the track.

"Nico crossed over my line there, pushed me wide," Hamilton complained over his team radio.
