Felipe Massa has pointed an accusing finger at Sergio Perez for an horrific smash that led to both men undergoing hospital checks.

As Massa pulled out from behind Perez to pass him on the final lap, the Mexican made a small move to his left, resulting in the Brazilian in his Williams smashing into the left-rear wheel of the Force India.

It resulted in Perez ramming into a barrier to his right, whereas Massa hurtled straight on into a tyre wall at turn one, suffering a 27g impact, narrowly avoiding the Red Bull of third-placed Sebastian Vettel en route.

Both were eventually released after passing tests but Massa said: “I spoke to him (Perez) at the medical centre. I was so disappointed with him. I said he needs to learn. I wanted him to put himself in my place because I had a huge crash.

“He didn’t say anything. He just turned and left.”
