Alonso has now failed to finish either of the GP's in Spain this year now and the fans in Valencia were visibly disappointed. Engine problems in Barcelona combined with Williams problems in Valencia have meant that the former World Champion has been unable to satisfy his adoring home fans.

Nakajima says he obviously never meant to end the Spaniards race but he will happy to take responsibility for the collision.

The 23 year-old was following Alonso at the time of the accident and says he thought he was safe in behind the Renault. Unfortunately though some trouble up ahead drastically slowed Alonso down and the Nakajima was just not able to stop in time.

"I had a very bad start and that caused Fernando and Timo [Glock] to go in front of me," Nakajima told SPEEDtv.

"In Turn 4 and 5 I think there was a bit of a battle in front of Fernando and me. I think he tried to avoid the car in front and I just couldn't avoid him as I was right behind.

"I think he slowed down to avoid [Sebastien] Bourdais. I think he was on the inside curb and tried to come back to the track, and Fernando tried to avoid him with backing off. I was just about to accelerate and there was no time to react to anything.

"I could see it was Fernando, and I thought whoops, it's no good for him and the Spanish fans. It's a shame for everybody, and me as well. I will say sorry to the fans. Maybe I need a bodyguard now!"
