MONACO (Reuters) - Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff joked that a Monaco Grand Prix crane operator must have been trained by the 'Cirque du Soleil' after Lewis Hamilton's car was lifted sky high following a crash in final practice.

More seriously, there was some concern the incident may have revealed to rivals secrets of the car's floor and upgraded aerodynamics.
