DC fumes at red flag decision
Quote:
David Coulthard was one of the first to speak out against the decision. "It's so unusual to have a red flag," he said to The Sun. "The safety car was out and they had 2½ minutes - minimum - to clear the track before we went over it. They could have cleared one side and let us go. "I know it's a difficult decision. But youhave to have consistency. Unless a driver is hurt, they do not normally stop races. Accidents or injury off the track is not normally a reason to stop the race. There are lots of races that would have benefited from being red-flagged to give people a show. "You want to see all the cars race, you don't want to see everyone pile up on the first corner, everyone go off and Minardi win! A red flag is just so very rare. Maybe when I have seen all the facts it will be as clear as the b***s on a dog and I will change my mind."

Hmm... shooting his mouth off EVEN WHEN HE KNOWS he doesn't have all the facts.

Jacques Villeneuve also expressed his astonishment at the FIA's decision to re-start the race. "I was surprised when there was a red flag, because we already went through the debris once," he commented in the post race press conference. "By then the track was clean, so the most dangerous moment of the race is actually the start, so I was really, really surprised. I saw no reason to stop the race."
