Fisichella and Nakajima at odds over crash

Giancarlo Fisichella and Kazuki Nakajima were at odds over what happened at the start of the Turkish Grand Prix which led to the Force India driver smashing into the back of the Williams, sending both out of the race.

"I had a good start and in braking, I think the other driver closed the door and I couldn't stop my car, so I don't think it's my fault," said Fisichella, who has been involved in start-line accidents now in three Turkish Grand Prix.

Meanwhile Nakajima denied any wrong doing, "I was just following the line in the front to the first corner - I don't think I changed line dramatically," he said. "I don't know what happened to be honest, I just got hit from behind and that was it."
