FAZZT Racing’s Alex Tagliani wants the governing body of the IndyCar Series to act swiftly as to penalize drivers that causes accident due to poor judgement or because some drivers keep a grudge.

Alex Tagliani was mad after his collision with Tomas Scheckter in last weekend's Toronto IndyCar Series race, the pair had also been involved in an accident on the same track in 2009 - while the South African denied Tagliani's accusation that he had caused the crash deliberately.

"The most frustrating thing is a guy that does four races a year, you go see him, he tells you the F word, just payback, see you later," said Tagliani. "He was like actually happy that he didn't finish the race and he took us out.”

But Scheckter said Tagliani had misunderstood him, and described the crash as a racing incident.

"Tell him to stop crying like a baby. He did it to me last year," Tomas Scheckter told IMS Radio.
