Felipe Massa has slated Kevin Mag­nussen for being “too aggressive” as the Brazilian’s world was turned upside down in Germany.

For the second successive grand prix, the Brazilian’s race was brought to a premature end on the opening lap following a first corner-shunt with McLaren rookie Mag­nussen.

In the British Grand Prix at Sil­verstone, Massa was unfortunately taken out by Kimi Raikkonen following the Finn’s frightening smash into a metal guardrail, with the 33-year-old simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

At Hockenheim on Sunday, the 33-year-old was left in no doubt the impetuosity of youth wrecked his race, resulting in him being flipped over as the accident unfolded. Mer­cifully for Massa, the rollbar on top of his Williams did its job, with his car eventually righting itself, allow­ing him to walk away unharmed

 Massa, though, was left fuming with Magnussen as he said: “When I turned into the corner suddenly another car hit me on my tyres and just flipped me over.

“It was very strange because I didn’t know there was a car there, but Magnussen should know I was there as he was behind.

“For me, he was too aggressive. I was doing my line. Most of the time these young drivers want to win races at the first corner.

Magnussen, however, felt Massa left him with no room as he said: “I feel if I’d had somewhere to go there wouldn’t have been contact with Felipe.

“I did my best to try and avoid the accident, but there wasn’t much else I could do.”
