Coulthard breaks bridge speed limit
Tuesday, October 13th 2009, 10:07 GMT
David Coulthard may have impressed fans during a demo run at the Rajiv Ghandi Sea Link in Mumbai, but the Scot made sure organisers did not get their deposit back.
The Scot drove across the cable-stayed bridge at 260km/h, despite having been warned not to go over 100km/h, the prescribed speed limit over the bridge.
Coulthard's exuberance, while impressing the 50,000 fans who attended the event, did not please the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation.
"We respect David for helping put the Link on the global map. But he crossed the speed limit and we will have to recover the penalty. We will not return the organisers' deposit," said a senior MSRDC official.
Organisers had paid Rs 35 lakh (£45,500) to the MSRDC, of which 14 lakh were held as a deposit.

Nick Heidfeld has expressed frustration that, while his team-mate Robert Kubica has secured a seat with Renault, he is still working to find a drive for next season.
Kubica is highly rated, but he has actually scored only nine points compared with Heidfeld's 15 so far this season. Moreover, Heidfeld trails Kubica only slightly in the qualifying stakes, having out-qualified his team-mate seven times.
"In terms of the public perception, I am behind drivers who are not as good as me," he told Auto Motor und Sport.
Last year, Heidfeld struggled notably at BMW Sauber, but in 2007 he clearly had the measure of Kubica.
"In 2007 I was faster than Robert and I am again now. But everyone talks only of 2008," he said. "I would have thought logic would prevail in Formula One, but unfortunately your image is not only the result of numbers.â€
He confirmed that he has not yet secured a seat for next year but reveals he has "a few options", and it is believed that hoping BMW Sauber's new owners can drive to the Bahrain grid next March is at the top of the list.

Chapter Kimi. I take the chance to motivate the choice. Ewin, I consider Raikkonen, in absolute terms, at the same level of Fernando, Felipe, Lewis. So, why this change? Because I'm sure our team, Ferrari, needs a man more similar to Schumi, as for the relationship with the team. Kimi is very fast, very competitive but also very closed, introvert. It's not a limit and not a guilt: it's his temper. With a winning car, he was and he is perfect. With a car to fix and a team to direct, I believe Alonso is superior. This I explained to Raikkonen: he wasn't happy but he understood.

Sebastian Vettel on Wednesday said he is not prepared to escalate his battle for the 2009 world championship into a psychological war.
He enters this weekend's penultimate round in Brazil with only a slim chance of overhauling championship leader Jenson Button for the drivers' title at Abu Dhabi in less than three weeks. Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner has already compared Brawn's Button with a football player about to blow a decisive penalty.
Horner's latest appearance in the media is to observe that Button "can lose everything and he will not be able to get that out of his mind."
Vettel however vowed to concentrate only on his driving. "I try not to be distracted by things like that," he insisted. "What the others do is not in my hands.â€
It is clear that immense pressure is mounting on Button, who has headed to Sao Paulo after a holiday with his girlfriend in Hawaii.
Vettel will step into the Interlagos paddock as F1's dominant last-start winner, and with some new parts for his RB5 - while Brawn raced its last car update for the season at Suzuka two weeks ago. “I have nothing to lose and because of that I can really attack,†he said. “Jenson has weakened a little bit so maybe this is our chance."
Moreover, Horner revealed that Vettel's Red Bull will be further updated for the Abu Dhabi finale, with the scale of the title push highlighted at Suzuka, when Mark Webber spent part of his race afternoon testing an Interlagos-spec front wing. "We have kept our heads down and kept pushing, and we will have some new components in the next two events," Horner said.
