Australia's Mark Webber crashed out of the Italian Grand Prix on the first lap on Sunday to leave his title hopes hanging by a thread.
The Red Bull driver, who started 10th on the grid, was fourth in the overall standings and 20.5 points behind championship leader Jenson Button with just four races remaining after Monza.
Webber collided with BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica, who also retired after first coming into the pits to try to rectify the damage.
"It looked like a racing incident with Robert Kubica at the start. He was inside my left wheel and I couldn't see him, there was contact and It flicked me up in the air a bit, the car wasn't that damaged but I just couldn't get out of there," Webber told BBC radio.
"I haven't had any points in the last three races. I am going to struggle if I am not scoring points. I have had a good little run at the championship but we have to keep going."
