Fernando Alonso survived a real scare in the early stages of the Canadian Grand Prix after clubbing the outside wall on turn four.

The Spaniard was in third place chasing Lewis Hamilton after being overtaken going into the first corner but ran slightly wide and his back tyre clearly hit the wall.

It looks like no lasting damage was done as he continued to chase Hamilton with no major news communicated over the team radio.
