Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg are out of the Spanish Grand Prix after they collided on the opening lap.

Hamilton, starting from pole position, lost the lead to Rosberg and in attempting to pass his Mercedes team-mate he ran on to the grass at turn three.

The world champion then lost control of his car, spun, and crashed into Rosberg. Both drivers ended up in the gravel trap at turn four with Hamilton holding his head in his hands.
