Now, it was Lewis Hamilton who sent the jackman flying after entering the pit. It was all done inadvertently and the Mercedes racer too was rattled with the incident and inquired about his wellbeing.

Fortunately, the man was unhurt and even the official account of Mercedes confirmed the news of his well-being on social media "For everyone asking, our front jackman is OK," Mercedes tweeted later in the session, to the relief of all. So as soon as Lewis Hamilton entered the pit, the jackman began working on the racer's car. Hamilton did not apply breaks at the right time as a result the man went flying and was grounded. A couple of members rushed to help him and fortunately he was unhurt.
