Trulli critical of Bourdais after crash
Toyota driver Jarno Trulli was critical of French rookie Sebastien Bourdais after the pair collided at the first corner of the Chinese Grand Prix
The Italian pitted for a new nosecone at the end of the first lap, but was forced to retire from the race a lap later with significant damage to his right sidepod.
It was the second time this season the pair had come to blows at the first corner - they also crashed at Spa on the first lap - and Trulli suggested Bourdais should consider his approach to GP starts.
"This guy has to cool down a little bit and make up his mind because at the start he doesn't know what he wants to do," Trulli told UK broadcaster ITV.
"I was side-by-side with Sebastian Vettel, obviously he was on the inside, so I had to give up. And then I had a hit on the rear-right and they told me it was Bourdais."
"My car was damaged pretty bad and I had to retire."
