Coulthard: “I was too optimistic…”
Interesting people the Scotish, at times they have a very understated way of describing things.
Such was the case Sunday after Scot David Coulthard had a “get together” with the Williams of Alex Wurz during the opening round of the F1 World Championship.
“I was too optimistic and I am sorry to Alex and to my guys, but this is racing.”
Putting that into “American-ese,” the language of all bold, brash and “ugly Americans,” Coulthard speared Wurz like a cheap steak, as if the tub of the Wurz Williams were Dracula’s heart and David had the lone cross on the nose of his Red Bull to slay him with.
The shunt sent Coulthard over the top of Wurz leaving paint residue on the steering wheel and passed within inches of the Wurz’s helmet.
At this point I’ll add the obligatory, “what the hell was he thinking,” and move on.
Was that Schmi in that blazin’ fast Ferrari? Obviously not, but it may as well have been. Kimi did a reasonable imitation as he ran from the field and dominated in the season opener.
You need to leave the ‘06 season behind and remember that Alonso is now in a McLaren, not a Renault.
Ingrained habits are a bitch aren’t they George? Error is corrected, thanks.
DC must have disconected his brain, the most experienced driver out there (opps, i forgot Barrichello) & he pulls a stunt from a mile back that was NEVER on. Wurz was remarkably gracious considering he was nearly decapitated.
I dont think we have seen the best from the BMW’s, at the start both Nick & Kubica nearly got the jump on the cars in front of them.I’m convinced Kubica may have finished in 4th or 5th
Cant wait for the next round…….oh BTW, isn’t it about time Honda threw Fry overboard, it was he who got rid of Willis the previous designer.
