Caterham driver Kamui Kobayashi of Japan runs off the track after he crashed with Williams driver Felipe Massa of Brazil on the first lap of the Australian Formula One Grand Prix at Albert Park in Melbourne, Australia, Sunday. Both Massa and Kobayashi walked away from the accident. Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg comfortably won the Formula One season-opening Australian Grand Prix on Sunday, after the early retirements of pole sitter and teammate Lewis Hamilton and world champion Sebastian Vettel.

Kobayashi will probably be suspended for one race for that; stupid driving, he really should know better.

First lap? That is terrible.

Not even first lap - he drove straight off the track at the first turn after running into Massa. Very poor.

1st lap? meh

Kobayashi is a disgrace to the sport, and it's no wonder why other international racers hate him for clipping their cars and what not, and call him a moron. This time he, fortunately, only did it to himself. Hope those kids he signed autographs for yesterday have already tossed them in the trash. My guess is that it was Kobayashi who crashed into Massa, as he has crashed into other racers in the past.

horrible driver! no clue at all.

He locked his breaks up after going into the turn too fast which resulted in him crashing into the back of Massa which also forced him to retire from the race. Amazingly enough the stewards cleared Kobayashi of all responsibility. I remember Grosjean getting a 1 race ban after doing the exact same thing at Spa in 2012.

Doubt he get's suspended, but he has no friends on the track for the season. Race officials will be interviewing him every run and his next qualification will be a nightmare. Welcome to F1 Kobaiyashi, try not to do it again.

Caterham and the stewards have concluded that it was a technical malfunction and that Kobayashi did nothing wrong.
