Sad goodbye for Coulthard

By on

Red Bull Racing driver David Coulthard was very unlucky during his final Grand Prix. The Scot was forced to retire after a collision in the second corner of the race. Coulthard was tapped into a spin by Nico Rosberg and collided with Kazuki Nakajima.

Coulthard said to 'ITV': "If I had qualified a bit higher up the grid away from the maybe it would have helped. I took a cautious approach into Turn One, left plenty of room for the car on the inside and then unfortunately Rosberg hit me in Turn Two and spun me around. Then Nakajima and I finished off our crashing love affair, and he took off my front corner."

Despite a very short final race of his long career, Coulthard said to have no regrets. "I wanted to get to the chequered flag and I was going to do some doughnuts for the crowd. But it didn't work out," he said. "I still can't complain, I've had a good career and thank you to everyone who supported me over the years."
