Red Bull Racing chief technical officer Adrian Newey has indicated that David Coulthard's qualifying crash at Monaco was indeed simply a driver error.
Under braking at the exit of the high-speed tunnel on Saturday, the veteran Scot veered violently to the right, smashing into the barrier and dashing off into the escape road.
A surprised Coulthard was at the time willing to accept the blame, but he said the team would "check the car" to "see if anything was going wrong at the rear".
Newey, who designed the RB4 single seater, is quoted as saying by Germany's Auto Motor und Sport: "No (car) failures showed up on the data."
