Stewards Investigate Montoya ‘Blocking’ Coulthard
Quote selected text Published June 10th, 2006 in MainStewards probe ‘disgusting’ Montoya Jun.10 (GMM) Stewards at Silverstone will investigate an incident in qualifying between David Coulthard and McLaren’s Juan Pablo Montoya.
Coulthard emerged visibly annoyed from the cockpit of his Red Bull on Saturday and accused his Colombian rival of deliberately baulking his flying lap.
Not only that, ‘DC’ said Montoya almost swiped his car as revenge for earlier slowing him down at the British venue near Northampton.
‘We’ll see what happens in the enquiry,” the 35-year-old Scot, who has had run-ins with Montoya in the past, said, ”but to me it was deliberate.
”The way he drives is disgusting, it is not the mark of a man and I think it’s unacceptable.”
At Monaco, stewards ruled that Michael Schumacher’s ‘Rascasse’ block was deliberate and sent him to the rear.

The jury determined that Juan Pablo Motoya didn’t block Coulthard, they didn’t find any reason to consider that Montoya hasn’t gotten to do with Coulthard elimination after analyzing pilot’s data and times, so Montoya starts 8th tomorrow.
