Coulthard slams tracks
Montreal and Fuji in firing line

Mar.13 (GMM) David Coulthard has kicked off his fourteenth full season on the F1 grid by complaining about two stops on the 2008 calendar.

The Red Bull driver, who turns 37 next month and is therefore the sport's oldest current racer, is quoted by the Independent newspaper as hitting out at the Fuji and Montreal venues.

Coulthard said the circuit facilities on the verge of the Canadian grand prix are among the worse in the world.

"They only have portaloos in the paddock. And as anyone who has crapped in a porta-potty knows, it's a pretty uninspiring experience," he said.

While the facilities at Toyota's new Fuji Speedway in Japan are state of the art, meanwhile, Coulthard complains that the layout itself is no good.

"It's a shit track that must have been designed by someone high on mushrooms," the Scot slammed.
