Unhappy Monteiro slams Coulthard

Monteiro, who accused Coulthard of the same actions at the French Grand Prix two weeks ago, said his team planned to complain to the race stewards this time around.

"This was the second time in as many qualifying sessions that Mr. Coulthard, who's been around long enough to know better, blocked me on my flying lap," said Monteiro, who qualified in 20th position.

"He did it to me in qualifying at Magny-Cours, he did it to Christijan in practice yesterday and he did it to me again today.

"It's unbelievable, because he's the first one to moan about it in the driver briefings when he thinks someone's done it to him, and yet he thinks he can do it to everyone else.

"Obviously, this time we're going to complain to the stewards about it, because it's just too much.

"It's a shame, because I think I could have had a decent run, based on the speed I had on my first aborted lap, when Speed shunted. But unfortunately, we couldn't do it because of Mr. Coulthard."

Teammate Christijan Albers, who will be hit by a penalty after changing his engine on Friday, set the 18th fastest time, but the Dutchman will be sent to the back of the grid.
