More embarrassment to India as they plan to fine David Coulthard

Formula 1 Sea Link with david CoulthardThe Indian government seems to be doing one thing after another in its bigger plan to shoo and scare away the sport of formula one from India. First they refused to recognise Formula One as a sport and now with around 2 years left for the 1st edition of the Indian Grand Prix, the Indian Government seemed to be on the brink of another gaffe.

To celebrate the opening of the new Bandra Worli sea link, Red Bull roped in David Coulthard to zoom across the track. The speed limit of the sea link is 30 mph, however it was raised to 60 mph specially for the formula one event. However since formula one cars dont have speedometers , David wasnt aware of his speeds while driving.

Anyway, after the whole event was done, authorities started to take note of the violations, The organisers will most probably not be refunded the 20,000 pound deposit.

Satish Gavai, managing director of Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation, said: ‘I have asked my officers to submit a report on the event.

‘Action will be considered only after it is established that the vehicle went beyond permissible speed limits on the sea link.’

David Coulthard on his end apologised,

David Coulthard said: ‘I was trying to judge what 60mph would be but I have no speedometer on the car.

‘I spent my career driving over 200, so I am sorry if I went over the speed limit.’
