MARK Webber branded Romain Grosjean a "first-lap nutcase" yesterday following a Japanese Grand Prix collision that wrecked the Red Bull driver's hopes of a podium finish.
Webber lined up on the front row of the grid alongside teammate and eventual winner Sebastian Vettel on pole position but contact with Grosjean's Lotus in the opening seconds sent the Australian to the back of the field from where he fought back to finish ninth.
"I haven't seen what happened at the start but the guys confirmed it was the first-lap nutcase again," Webber said of Frenchman Grosjean.
"He needs to have a look at himself. It was completely his fault. How many times can you make the same error with first lap incidents? It's quite embarrassing at this level for him."
