Scott Speed penalised over comments to Scot​

By Theodore liasi

London (espnstar.com) - David Coulthard became only the fourth Formula One driver to have ever reached 500 grand prix points at the expense of American Scott Speed, who subsequently told the Scotsman to "**** off!".

The Toro Rosso rookie had overtaken Coulthard's Red Bull under a yellow flag after his Italian team-mate Vitantonio Liuzzi had crashed out of the race.

At the stewards' inquiry afterwards, Coulthard was explaining the circumstances when Speed blasted: "Well you can **** off then!"

Speed's tactlessness earned him a 25-second penalty and the loss of eighth place; he was also immediately slapped with a $5,000 fine following for the foul and abuse language with which he greeted the punishment.

"What he said is down to him," said Coulthard. "I was following behind Tonio and Jacques Villeneuve at a re-start and the incident caused the problem with Scott.
"Tonio hit the left barrier and then was coming back to the right so the yellow flags were waved. I slowed down to wait for the car to come to a halt and Scott went flying past me."

I think speed is trying to create an American Bullish image here.I wonder why DC went quiet / never assault him back..Remember the same thing happened i thionk in 2004 where DC and Massa had a moment during a GP where right after the race DC picked a fight with Massa whilst his parent were there !!!Why never do this to Speed...felt chickened to American..ha..ha

Wrong. It is another approach whereby you become the good guy in the eyes of everybody else by being the gentleman and the victim. No point being offensive. This is a more subtle method.

I agree that too bro....I wonder do all this drivers display the othr sight of them often..like being angry..play fault language at othr divers after the race so often...I remember once Schumi went TO DC's garage during his Mclaren time to pick a fight due to DC point a finger to Schumi...Then JPM - Villenueve moment during drivers briefing in 1 of the race in 2003/2004....

Well, sometimes anger just takes over. F1 drivers are still only human.
