DC Apolgies to Naked Villenueve

Jacques Villenueve's post race shower was interuppted when DC decided to come clean and apologise for ramming into the Canadians backside!

In an incident missed by the TV coverage, David Coulthard ran into the back of Villeneuve on lap 54. Having followed Jaques' for a large part of the race, DC pushed a litle too hard and sent the Sauber into a 180 degree spin.

Whilst DC was able to complete the remaining three laps, JV suffered rear suspension damage and was forced to pit and retire.

Immediately after the race, David went to say sorry to Jacques for his error and delivered his apology whilst the Canadian was still in the shower.

DC and JV are long time F1 mates and had been holidaying together prior to the race. Jacques showed he had no hard feelings for David, by accepting the apology and honouring a pre-race promise to give David a lift home in his private jet.
