DC faces 10-place grid penalty
Red Bull Racing driver, David Coulthard, faces a 10-place grid penalty in Malaysia this weekend for blowing up his Ferrari engine after the chequered flag in this weekends Gulf Air Grand Prix in Bahrain. Coulthard had his engine failure after the chequered flag and not during the race, so he'll face his penalty this weekend.
David Coulthard "It's hard on the small teams. The penalty, fair enough everyone understands why, but it's not the same for all. It is like Chelsea losing a man - being down to 10 men is not as tough for them as it would be for a smaller team. But you can't do anything. For race two, even if I stick it on pole I am 11th and the chances of being on pole are quite slim."
"I think we just accept the first two races are going to be pretty tough and then do a test after Malaysia in Valencia. Hopefully then I will be more comfortable. I honestly feel this is the first time I am getting to know this car."
