Coulthard wants to put an end to his tensions with Massa

David Coulthard informed a British sports magazine that he wished to make peace with Felipe Massa in the coming days and move on.

Coulthard reacted Thursday during the press conference: « I just wanted to put an end to what happened, apologize for the words used, and then continue on our way… »
