Romain Grosjean criticised after crash in Japanese Grand Prix

Romain Grosjean has taken a lot of stick after the Japanese Grand Prix for getting tangled up in yet another first-corner incident.

quote There was so much pressure on Grosjean not to crash after his ban that he ended up crashing

Suzuka was only the second race back since the Lotus driver served a one-race ban for causing a first-corner shunt in Belgium, and a lot of people were critical of him on Sunday, including Red Bull's Mark Webber, who was the innocent victim this time.

Yes, it was the eighth early-race incident in which Grosjean has been involved in 14 races. But I think we need to take a step back. Grosjean's wasn't the only incident on the first lap at Suzuka.
