Coulthard - A Red Bull patsy

Tinker13

His questions to Christian Horner today, at the end of the race, sounded sycophantic and made my skin crawl.

His initial question was something like "... you didn't see anything wrong with the first corner incident, did you Christian?..." and sounded to me like he was protecting him.

Even when Jake Humphries and Eddie Jordan had asked the obvious awkward questions about the public spat with Webber, Coulthard again stepped in with a grovelling "...will you have an even better car at the next race Christian?.."

Is this guy on the Red Bull payroll or something?

He actually is on the Red Bull payroll. He was a red bull driver for the last couple of seasons of his career and he's actually one of their ambassadors.

You'd see him the odd time driving for Red Bull at corporate events etc so its no surprise he's sucking up to his cheque signers!!

Don't see anything wrong with it, he is a bit favourable towards redbull and some of his question are a bit crap, but EJ is the same sometimes and favours the smaller teams. I think it balances out between Eddie and Coulthard.

As for Redbull, didn't see much wrong with the first corner and Horner got plenty of stick for the Vettel front wing situation from the BBC team

Mmmm. Maybe it's just me then cos he's really getting on my goat.:mad:

Id say bbc have made coultard pull back a little bit with the redbull comments. He really was a pain early in the season, coming out all defensive of redbull. Of late I feel he is not quite so bad.
