The Renault driver lost control of his car when going through the Eau Rouge corner, crashing heavily against the tyre barriers but escaping unscathed.

Fisichella, who was running seventh at the time, said he still didn't know the reason for the accident.

"The first few laps were perfect for me," said Fisichella. "I lost some positions at the start, but then the car was just flying: I was much faster than everybody around me, and just picking off the positions when I could to try and climb up the field.

"I was running quite low downforce, so the handling was tricky at times but I was still quicker than the guys in front of me. I had got to P7 when I lost the car in Eau Rouge.

"I don't really understand what happened at the moment, and I need sit down with the engineers to look at the data in a bit more detail."
