Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosbergs Spanish GP collision may prove the defining moment for the future of their Mercedes partnership, according to Sky F1s Martin Brundle. The Mercedes team-mates and title rivals crashed out on the opening lap at Barcelona as they battled over the lead after Rosberg overtook pole-sitter Hamilton at the start.Although the pair have tangled on track before, most infamously at the 2014 Belgian GP, Sundays race was the first it has resulted in both drivers dropping out of the race. And Brundle reckons the significance of the incident cannot be underestimated.That vision of those two in the gravel trap at Turn Four on the first lap I think will be the defining moment of this season and possibly the defining moment of where the Mercedes team heads for 2017, said the Sky Sports F1 commentator. Anthony Davidson looks at the collision between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg that wiped both Mercedes drivers out of the Spanish GP on lap one. I think it will be a defining moment because they have to make decisions moving forward. And we have seen with other teams in history - and maybe a little bit with [Max] Verstappen and [Carlos] Sainz at Toro Rosso - can they continue working together those two drivers?Do they have to find a new way moving forward? Is it recoverable? It will be very interesting to see how they react to this afternoon because I think it is a defining moment.
