Coulthard was disrespectful, says Speed.
Scott Speed says that he told David Coulthard to ‘**** off’ in Australia because he felt his fellow Red Bull driver was being disrespectful. The pair clashed in front of the stewards in Melbourne after Speed had passed DC when yellow flags came out for Tonio Liuzzi’s high-speed accident on the straight after the first chicane. He lost his eighth position, and was fined $5000 for abusive behaviour.
Speed says that during the discussion Coulthard had talked down to him, something which might not come as a surprise bearing in mind that the Scot has been in F1 since 1994 and is a leading light in the GPDA, and Speed was in his third Grand Prix. “I think I was treated a bit disrespectfully by my team mate, that’s why I was actually pissed,” said Speed. “The point being taken away, that wasn’t even decided at that time. It was decided that it was something that was far, OK, and for sure it went in David’s favour this time, for sure in the future I’ll get a break my way. I felt very disrespected, we got in an argument, and I got fined for it!”

When he was crying to his crew about needing to switch from intermediates to slicks immediately, was stubborn enough to get his way against all their recommendations, and then spun in the first corner or two with the slicks on.
He’s never impressed me.
