LOL with DC!

"In a remarkable outburst, made live on ITV, DC insisted that the Ferrari driver should take responsibility for their race-ending crash and warned: "If he doesn't then I will kick lumps of sh*t out of the little bastard."

Man, I sure hope that one shows up on youtube! We had to watch the SPEED telecast here in the States and missed that little gem...



"There are some pikeys there at Turn 10 putting tarmac down - what do you think of that?" - Martin Brundle

Well, the FOM is very quick in removing everything from youtube considering the Aussie GP

But always nice to see gentleman Coulthard having one of his outbursts.

If ferrari fails again next week, the FIA really has to think of something new to get them back to the front.

That's why I hate DC, that was a racing incident, yet he still has to have a moan and swear on TV.
If I was Louise Goodman I'd have hit him by now, he really comes out with some crap when she talks to him (Foul mouthed and sexist comments)
He'll only ever be best in the world at moaning, whether it's about tracks or safety, how F1 is his 'work' etc.
Well when he gets his ass handed to him again by Webber this year, he hopefully won't be moaning about anything F1 related again. They should have kept Klien on, not him.

yeah! f**k DC! He should be a corporate little bitch and pretend everythings a-okay!

Well when he gets his ass handed to him again by Webber this year

2007 Championship Standings

10 - Coulthard - 14
12 - Webber - 10

Epic Fail.

Don't really see any reason why DC is to blame. Massa @#$%& it up as he usually does. End of story.

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

it was massa's fault you can tell when a drivers going to give you room, he ignored the signs and frankly looks terrible without the electronics.

Looked to me like Massa dove down the inside out of control and expecting DC to know where he was and move over as well.

A pity Massa's foot is heavier than his intellect...



"There are some pikeys there at Turn 10 putting tarmac down - what do you think of that?" - Martin Brundle

DC - "I know I screwed up the same way with Alex last year. I took full responsibility for it and I would expect Felipe to do the same. If he doesn't...then I'm going to kick a few colours of sh**, out of the little bastard"

James Allen (in backround) "Hah!"

L. Goodman - "Thanks for that language David..."



50-50 racing incident imo.

You can't hotlink there, and judging by the "TBK" in the URL, you can get banned from TBK Fame Flame for it too. Don't hotlink.

i think (edit: sorry my bad: Martin Brundle)was commenting that most likely Coulthard couldn't see Massa on the inside because of the peripheral blind spot. He knew massa was behind him coming down the straight, but obvious had no idea Massa would try something like that.

imo i think massa's at fault, but i must admit, thats biased, i never like Massa, too cocky.

Must admit, i loved DC's outburst, when i heard on the coverage here, i was thinking 'he did not just say what i heard him say' then i hear that interviewer saying thanks for the language. lol :D good stuff.


Andrew. Australia.

Yeah but if he keeps doing it they will end up not interviewing the drivers or delay the interviews so we will suffer.

This spare car rule is stupid as well and again we could suffer. Say we have a crash like Spa 1998 at the start. We could end up with only 10 cars restarting the race. They should be allowed a complete spare car whats the point taking all the parts and u can not have it on standby.

Flavi makes me laugh how he sees things :

Fernando’s fourth place today is an excellent omen for the start of the season. He drove a superb race, fighting all the way from the back of the field. Even though we were set back twice by the safety car, what he managed to do was exceptional. In particular, his overtaking of the McLaren in the closing stages was spectacular. We still have to work, but it is encouraging to see that we are not the only team that needs to improve. As far as Nelson goes, this was his first race and a difficult one for him. But I am sure this has been a learning experience for him, and I am confident that in the races to come he will do better.”


The part about the over take of the mclaren, Alonso was the one who got over taken and then Kovy hit the the pit lane limit. There was nothing spectacular about alonso passing him it was easy, now Kovy passing alonso was good.

This chart depicts the evolution of the lap times for the main contenders. The reference is a virtual driver whose lap times were constant and equal to the average lap time of the winner of the Grand Prix. The line for this driver coincides with the 'x' axis. The vertical representation shows the time gap to that virtual driver at the end of every lap and that allows a clear visualization of each driver rythm as well as the real gaps on track. All laps run behind the "Safety Car" are discarded as their times are meaningless.

Dunno, they got more points than at the Nurburgring in 1999.* :P

* Though points were only up to 6th at back then, and Irvine finished 7th.

I'll post it tonight if I remember if no-one's already done so (without hotlinking TBK presumably...) There's no video, unless they showed it during the highlights show (which I never recorded). I laughed out loud at it, though didn't realise there was a sweary until James Allen stifled a laugh and apologised. Quickly rewound. :D

Regarding the accident itself, DC was fully at fault in my opinion. If you can't see the driver alongside you (no matter how far alongside) you've got to give them room. You don't just slam the door shut assuming they're going to back out - you've got to give them the chance to avoid an accident... Anyone other than Massa, and I think most would agree. It's not a corner with a massive braking zone - it's tap the brake and turn in at speed - you can't just go "oooh no" and turn in on someone. It never works there.

Flavios comments are almost a cut and paste from what he said of Heikki this time last year. The difference being Heikki actually completed some laps. Some of them without even crashing.

LOL @ Dave's last comment. :D

I agree that it was dc fault more than massa and said that straight away, massa had no time to back out and dc should have left room. Its a normal dc thing and why he was never world champ and did not win as many races as he should have.

He gets involved in stupid accidents either defending to hard or just crashes. Massa was alot faster and was down the inside DC knew he was there and just took his normal line when Masaa was already there.

I could not have said it better myself.

It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.
