No action taken on Glock-Coulthard clash

The duo made contact near the end of the race when Glock tried to pass Coulthard on the inside of Turn Five.

As a consequence of the accident, Coulthard suffered a puncture and Glock was forced to change his front wing.

Although the incident was investigated by the stewards, they deemed no action was necessary.

Coulthard, who went on to finish 12th, was unimpressed with the incident, which he believes cost him a chance of finishing in the points.

"Jenson (Button) finished sixth and I was running behind Jenson. It is a disaster," said the Scot. "It is terrible, but who is interested in hearing about me complaining about people running into me?"

The accident was the third of that kind Coulthard has been involved in this year after crashing with Felipe Massa in Australia and Jenson Button in Bahrain. Both times Coulthard was hit when his rivals was trying to pass.

The Red Bull driver admitted he was tired of the accidents.

"I think I've said enough, haven't I? In my last column I did the whole thing on how I wish people would know that my eyes face out front, they don't face back. What you see on the video footage is not what I see in the car.

"You make a commitment and what I do is make it clear whether I am moving out of the way or taking an early line.

"It seems to have worked through most of my career, so I don't know what has gone wrong this year.

"There will be all this stuff about my age and the oldest driver getting involved in all the incidents, which you can fuel the flames or not, but I don't know what I can do. Should I just drive off the circuit and let all these people by?"

Coulthard reckons one of the main reasons for the accidents is how hard it is to overtake with the current cars.

"It is unbelievably difficult to overtake. You lose so much downforce following the other cars, and I think there is an element of that, but most of the race he wasn't with me.

"I got held up with Mark because the team brought him out right in front of me, and he is going slow and I am dropping from Jenson, so they had all their eggs in the basket as Mark was on for big points, and so I drop two, three or four seconds and that allowed Glock to get close after the pitstop.

"It could be worse. I could be battling for the world championship and that would be me not going to win it. I am not battling for the championship. I finished 10th last year so I am in that area between 8th and 18th."
