Coulthard slams 'disgusting' Montoya

Silverstone stewards are investigating an incident involving Montoya and Coulthard after the Scot complained that the McLaren driver had blocked him during the second part of qualifying.

Coulthard said after qualifying that Montoya had driven dangerously to have revenge at him for having slowed him down, something Coulthard claims he hadn't done.

"I let Montoya past coming out of Club corner and he came very close to my car, which I think he was trying to say I held him up, which I didn't but if he thought I did then he should come and speak to me afterwards," said Coulthard.

"Squeezing against my car is a little bit dangerous and later on that lap he ran wide and then drove very slowly through the last two corners. There is no damage to the car so he was driving slowly to stop me starting my lap normally. The rules are clear: you are not allowed to impede another driver.

"His default setting is to behave in a bad way and the only way to communicate with someone like that is to use the same language."

Coulthard is hopeful the stewards will penalise Montoya for what the Scot said was "unacceptable" and "disgusting" driving.

"They will talk to him, so there will be something there," added Coulthard. "I am not trying to profit from it, he has a quicker car so would be in front of him. It is not about this qualifying session, it is about driving standards and etiquette.

"Everyone was in such a hoo-haa about Michael's driving actions in Monaco and he didn't involve anyone else at that moment in time, where Montoya has been involved in incidents with other cars, and they are just trying to do the same thing.

"It is disgusting the way he drives, it is not the mark of a man and I think it's unacceptable.

"It is all a matter of education and some people have reached their max and cannot learn any more. The stewards are the only people that will change it...but even after Monaco last year he claimed the stewards were too harsh with their penalty. How can you communicate with someone like that?"

Coulthard qualified in 11th position, three places behind Montoya.
