In the magazine: Accidents and negligence

In this week's AUTOSPORT magazine we analyse the rationale behind Romain Grosjean's one-race ban from Formula 1 and speak exclusively to his stand-in, Jerome d'Ambrosio, about the task he faces at Monza

Autosport Magazine

Autosport is the UK's must-read motorsport magazine! It is revered by fans and industry personnel alike as the ultimate source of motorsport news and analysis.

There's a fine but crucial line between assertive driving and simple negligence, a duality that raised its head again following Romain Grosjean's contribution to the first-corner crash during last weekend's Belgian Grand Prix.

In this week's AUTOSPORT magazine we analyse the Frenchman's subsequent one-race ban and place his penalty within the context of the FIA's stance across the past decade. While reprimands, fines and grid penalties have been the primary methods of discipline in recent years, Grosjean's ban - the first since Jacques Villeneuve's at the 1997 Japanese GP indicates a far harder, and perhaps necessary, intervention.
