Ya boys on Sky Sports claim that this comes under 'natural law', as he wouldn't have been caught up in the La Source shenangians if Pastor didn't get the juuuump.

Poor Kobayashi. What was up with his brakes at the start?
― Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Sunday, 2 September 2012 12:25 (thirteen years ago)
No idea. The commentators were saying it was no big deal, but I don't remember them saying what was the cause of it.

Yeah, but not sure what needs to be investigated about it.

Saward sez:
Romain Grosjean had been given a one race ban for causing the accident in Spa.It is likely that Jerome d’Ambrosio will get the drive in MonzaPastor Maldonado has been given two five-place grid penalties for Monza for a jumped start and causing a collision with Timo Glock.
― Brakhage, Monday, 3 September 2012 04:44 (thirteen years ago)
I dunno if this was the "impact" that Grosjean was hoping for this season.
BTW the last driver banned from a GP for causing a first lap accident was this guy:

IThis post adds some context which is really helpful, I think. I hadn't really thought about incidents in lower competitions.
Grosjean seemed genuinely horrified and admits that he'd almost killed Alonso and Hamilton, whereas Maldonado seems to always find someone or something else responsible. (There was footage of Whiting shaking his head, 'you're a dumbass'-style, at Maldonado at the start)
Last person with a ban was Mika Hakkinen (missed Hungary 1994); before him Schumacher (missed Italy and Portugal 1994), and before him Irvine (missed Pacific, San Marino, and Monaco 1994). (I have learned from this that the 1994 season was especially insane and bizarre all around.)
― Brakhage, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 00:11 (thirteen years ago)
And you can relive 1994 at length right here
― Brakhage, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 00:18 (thirteen years ago)
Sorry Pato, I was too pedantic there, you'd mentioned 'for causing a first lap accident'
― Brakhage, Tuesday, 4 September 2012 00:24 (thirteen years ago)
Oh, I basically wanted to post a lol 90s Irvine picture but surprisingly, those were thin on the ground.
So here's something more recent:

He waited forever to change tires, which is a huge part of it.
Remember both Sauber's were fast in qualifying at Spa but got cleared out in that first corner.

The weather forecast suggests that rain might fall during the race on Sunday night.
