Drivers call for Grosjean's head
October 2012
In scenes reminiscent of medieval times, all of the Formula 1 drivers dressed in dark cloaks and carried burning torches as they paraded through the streets of Tokyo demanding for Romain Grosjean to be burnt at the stake after yet another first lap collision.
In his private battle with Pastor Maldonado to see who can crash into the most number of drivers in a single season, Grosjean this time set his sights on Mark Webber. The monotone Australian was furious and compared the Frenchman to a bar of Cadbury’s Fruit and Nut after the incident. Webber was quoted as saying "aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh" for a full minute before getting a sentence out.
Grosjean was apologetic after the race but said he had learnt from his mistakes. "S'il vous plaît pouvez-vous me diriger vers la gare. Il ya un blaireau sous la table."
However, his apology was lost on Christian Horner, who suggested Lotus needs to start giving him Valium prior to each race. He also said that Grosjean needs to take a good look in the mirror. Unfortunately, the Frenchman was too busy concentrating on his reflection and crashed into the dressing table.
