SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS Belgium (Reuters) - Lewis Hamilton accused Mercedes team mate and Formula One championship leader Nico Rosberg of deliberately colliding with him and wrecking his Belgian Grand Prix hopes on Sunday 'to prove a point'.

The incident on lap two left Hamilton with a puncture and ultimately led to the Briton's retirement from the race, while title rival Rosberg went on to finish second and extend his lead to 29 points.
