Spa start crash 2012Romain Grosjean wants to wait until he has seen television footage of the start of the Belgian Grand Prix before he judges who was to blame for the first corner crash.

The Lotus driver appeared to move over on Lewis Hamilton on the run to La Source and their collision resulted in a multi-car pile-up that also eliminated World Championship leader Fernando Alonso and Sergio Perez.

Speaking to Britain's Sky TV about what happened at the first corner, Grosjean said: "[I had] a very good start and then boom - it was the end of the race. I haven't seen the images and I need to see them to have any point of view.

"But the main thing is that everybody is OK. That is the most important for me."

Hamilton stormed over to Grosjean immediately after the accident and gestured at him in a manner that suggested he believed the Lotus driver was to blame.

Alonso's retirement was his first of the season, but whatever the result of the Belgian GP he will still leave the race as the points leader.

Perez said he was an innocent victim of the accident, which also left his front-row-starting teammate Kamui Kobayashi with damage.

"It was on the braking for Turn 1 and then suddenly I had a big hit from other drivers and there was nothing I could do," said the Mexican. "We basically paid for a mistake from one driver."
