Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton spins on turn three during the third practice session ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton narrowly avoided a hefty accident during final practice for the Spanish GP when he spun his Mercedes W06.

Midway through Practice Three on Saturday morning, Hamilton lost control of his car as he exited Turn Three - the corner where Fernando Alonso crashed out in pre-season testing.

But unlike Alonso, Hamilton was able to stop his car before hitting the wall, leaving only a plume of smoke behind him.
