Romain Grosjean compares Carlos Sainz collision with Spa 2012

Romain Grosjean has compared Carlos Sainz's actions at the start of the Canadian Grand Prix with the collision that got him a one-race ban in 2012.

On the first lap of Sunday's race, Sainz moved across on Grosjean on the run down to Turn 3 and pushed the Haas driver on the grass. Grosjean managed to retain control of his car, but when Sainz moved across a second time they made contact.

Sainz's Toro Rosso was sent into a spin, collecting Felipe Massa's Williams at the apex of Turn 3 and taking both cars out of the race.
