Coulthard blames Massa and Massa blames Coulthard
David Coulthard turned the airwaves blue on Sunday after colliding with Felipe Massa in the Australian Grand Prix.
Plenty of carbon fibre was shed throughout the field at Albert Park as the 2008 season kicked off, but Red Bull's Coulthard was clearly the most furious of the retirees as the media scrambled for live comments.
To a reporter for ITV, Coulthard said that Massa should take full responsibility for the crash after they came together at turn one.
"If he doesn't, then I'm gonna kick three colours of shit out of the little bastard," he half joked.
But Massa, the Brazilian driver, risked incurring the Scotsman's wrath by refusing to apologise.
"He should just go and watch the television instead," the 26-year-old said. "I was on the inside, I did nothing wrong," he told reporters.
Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali did not want to wade into the argument, but he pointed out that "race control didn't take any action."

I must admit that hearing David saying that on my TV was hilarious. Was his fault but an angry Scotsman is a funny one too.

I'm a Ferrari fan as well man
I was sure there alot of "Reds" here,but from what u say i understand most of the guys is on Hamilton's side huh?
Btw,does anyone heard about the enigines of Kimi and Massa?
Will they change them?
The new rules say it possible to change engine 1 time a year without gettin' penalty for that(each engine shoud be in the car for at least 2 races)....
it's interesting if the engines broke down completly or it's something that can be fixed.

They can change their engines because they failed. If Kimi's hadn't of failed then he would have had the choice of whether to keep on and get the points of retire, get no points and take the engine to Malaysia. Tough choice.
The weather forecast for Malaysia is very interesting to say he least: http://weather.msn.com/local.aspx?wealocations=wc:MYXX0031
It will be interesting to see the cars without traction control in the wet.
