'Button took me out' - Grosjean

Romain Grosjean has talked of the four-car crash that involved championship leader Jenson Button going out of the Belgian Grand Prix. The Englishman accused the Frenchman of braking too late at Les Combes corner to remove both cars, plus Lewis Hamilton and Jaime Alguersuari, from the race before the end of the first lap.

Having survived La Source and Eau Rouge, Grosjean's Renault eventually came to rest at the Les Combes chicane at the start of the second sector. "I made a very good start, moving up to thirteenth place, and I was keeping a good pace but then Button took me out at Turn 5 and it was the end for me," the Renault man explained.

"It's frustrating because I would have loved to finish the race and learn more about the car on this very special track. Hopefully I can do better in Monza." The multi-car shunt is currently being investigated by the FIA-appointed race stewards, with 10-place grid penalties a possible punishment for the Italian Grand Prix.
