David said about his almost laughable exit from the race: "We've
looked at it with Renault and there was a problem. When I braked for the corner
everything was normal and I slowed down. When you change down a gear there is
an idle strategy on the engine, which keeps it ticking over. When you are on the
brakes and not requiring any power, suddenly you see the engine accelerate."
"So I was driven towards the wall. In that situation you
dip the clutch and brake more, but it was slippery and by the time I'd done that,
it was straight into the wall. It's something that happens often in the pit-lane
but never out on the circuit. I'm convinced that's what happened, although it
looked like I just went in too quickly."
