Caterham’s Giedo van der Garde faced the wrath of Mark Webber after the two collided at tSunday's Canadian Grand Prix.

The Red Bull driver was running third when Van der Garde, last at the time, collided with the Australian at the hairpin as he ignored the marshals’ waved blue flags.

At that stage Webber was closing in on second-placed Lewis Hamilton, but instead of racing for the podium, he eventually had to content himself with fourth after also being passed by the Ferrari of Fernando Alonso.

The Dutchman Van der Garde, who was handed a 10-second stop-go penalty for ignoring the flags and causing the collision, later retired from the race.

“I don’t know what he was doing because we had a lot of blue flags up to the hairpin,” said Webber.

“I rolled down the inside giving him plenty of time to make sure that I’m there.”

Webber added: “We made contact. Fair enough on position, but when you’re getting lapped with the leaders coming through battling for the top spots and you’re closing the door on the leaders, it’s not very clever.”

Kimi Raikkonen finished in ninth for the Enstone-based Lotus team as he dropped to third in the race for the championship, while his teammate Romain Grosjean came home in 13th.

Valtteri Bottas, who admitted his stunning third place in qualifying was a ‘nice surprise’ finished 14th, while fellow Williams driver, Pastor Maldonado, was 16th.

Van der Garde’s teammate, Charles Pic, finished 18th.
