I believe it will be on the agenda. But, it?s an issue between drivers that?s how I feel it should be handled. Inevitably there?ll be someone who has to say their two pence worth, but they probably won?t say it in front of each other in the meeting. What I hope we can achieve is that all those who were quick to give their opinions to the masses, but won?t look Michael in the eye, I think that?s a lack of a man, and I think we?ll find out tomorrow just who?s prepared to say what around the table.
Q: David, some of your colleagues say Michael Schumacher?s position as president of the GPDA may be under consideration after Monaco. Is that something you think is appropriate?
David Coulthard:
Personally speaking, I don?t, but as a group of drivers though, we have an opportunity to take a vote. Personally were are stronger in our opinions and can influence more the sport today and the future if we are united. Drivers don?t always see eye to eye of course, but the Monaco events should just be taken as they were. Michael got his punishment, and anyone who wants to discuss it can, and then we should get on with the business of driver and track safety.
I'm not sure the point Coulthard is trying to make. The olny driver who I believe put his money where his mouth was even in the press was Jacques Villeneuve. Trust me, he has no problem looking Sh@#$%tMaker [as someone else so elegantly put it] in the eye and telling him to go "F" himself!!

These PC remarks from Coulthard [plus his inability to lead the McLaren team after Hakkinen retired] are 2 reasons why I can't be a bigger fan of his.

You're spot on, Chris. Jacques Vileneuve's money is where his mouth is, thats why he keeps using it. Unlike other drivers who earn their money on the track.

Ooooooh! :lol:

I, too, have been very critical of JV's on track performances over the last few years, but at least he keeps it clean.
