Also BS, as the police closed the bridge for him. Unfortunately for him by the time he'd completed his little jaunt the engine was about to explode!

Great advertising (but for whom?)
...now people will think we live in a police state - no mention of the word bribe or soup money though - how unrealistic! Obviously staged!

Yeah, I thought slipping the copper--what, I'm sorry, Michael Schumacher--a fiver would've done the trick.

Obviously staged! it's a good thing they did that. becouse it was hardly in the news anywhere in the world and this way it's published everywhere. if you reed the entire article it states that they didnt have to pay for the fine, but that red bull insisted on paying it. coulthard drives over the bogaz bridge with 250 km/h and it's no news. coulthard gets a fine for publicity stunt and it's all over the news in the whole world. it's genius.
