Took out Webber at the first corner. Thankfully, Webber is still running, but in last place. Alas, Grosjean is still running too, in 19th.

From the BBC

"...Red Bull Mark Webber has called Romain Grosjean a "first-lap
nutcase" after the Lotus driver punted him off the track. The Australian
suggests the Frenchman, who has already been banned once this season for
his first-lap actions, "maybe he needs another holiday"..."


GrosTwat has had his chance at F1 and failed. I don't believe he should
be allowed to continue driving at this level. Brundle reckoned he
wasn't even looking at the right at the right part of the track when he
took out Webber.

He's got form now, hasn't he? I'd have thought that a stop-go was not
enough of a penalty, this one was as avoidable as the one at Spa.
Should you get sanctioned according to what you do or how many cars
are damaged as a result?

And there's more..

=====

Romain Grosjean, who was involved in yet another first-lap crash, has
just given a truly sensational interview..

He said: "After the ban, I'm very careful at the start. I kept my line
and was trying to avoid contact with Sergio Perez. I didn't see the
delta speed with Mark [Webber]. I was just trying to avoid any contact -
it didn't work. It was a stupid clash. I haven't had a chance to speak
with the team." So in trying to avoid a crash, he had a crash.

He should be banned from motor racing. A menace to the entire grid!

A bit extreme!
Plenty of young drivers have caused mayhem and gone on to be world
champions - Surtees, Schechter ...

No, you get sanctioned according to who you take out.
