Drivers off to FIA summit
Mosley meeting scheduled for today

(GMM) David Coulthard, Jarno Trulli and Mark Webber will lead the drivers' convoy to Cannes on Monday for alleged 'safety' talks with FIA chief Max Mosley.

World champion Michael Schumacher, who remains drivers' association president but is still unpopular among the ranks, will also attend -- on the day of his wedding anniversary.

The Ferrari driver refused to let too much slip prior to the summit in the south of France.

''There is no point going into details about what we want or don't want to discuss,'' said the German, 36.

''We want a good conversation and to clarify certain points that we consider to be important.''

Coulthard, though - the behind-the-scenes 'leader' of the group - has a clearer agenda. He said a driver should be promoted to the F1 Commission -- a rules think-tank.

It is believed that Jacques Villeneuve and Ralf Schumacher (and more) are also signed up to fly out, too.

DC, 34, also feels strongly about the regulation linking a poor race finish with a bad starting slot for qualifying for the subsequent grand prix.

''It's daft,'' he told Autosport, ''and it's not Formula One.''
