British Formula One driver David Coulthard fears rule changes
British Formula One driver David Coulthard is worried that the new Formula One rule changes could endanger drivers and lead to an accident.
Under the new rules for this year, traction control, which prevents wheelspin, and engine braking are both to be banned.
David Coulthard, 36, is reported to have explained: "The big issue is when we have standing water on the track without traction control. There hasn't been a big incident - touch wood - for a long time, but it's just a question of when that happens."
David Coulthard is well known for being concerned with safety in the sport. David Coulthard has been a racing driver for 14 years and feels sure his past experience will be a help in coping with the new changes.
However, David Coulthard is worried that newer drivers will find it very hard coping without the driver-aid systems, especially under treacherous weather conditions, and he added: "A lot of the guys I'm racing now, they were at kindergarten when I was driving without all these toys, so I've no problem with it."
