Drivers' invitation to Mosley is still open

Despite Max Mosley's decision not to meet with members of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association today, following comments David Coulthard made to the British media on Monday, the drivers are still keen to meet with the FIA president, if he is willing.

"The invitation is still clearly there for Max to come to the meeting with us," said Mark Webber, "he can still come and meet us.

"We want to talk about safety," he continued, "we don't want to talk about the regulations. We want to talk about safety.

"I think that the obligation from the GPDA and myself as one of the directors, is to look at making the sport better, short term, long term so kids can have a sport that they can look up to and have some respect for the sport at the end of the day, for the drivers. We don't want to run the sport, we just want to have something that young kids can look up to and a sport that we all aspire to."

Referring to his comments earlier in the week, in which he criticised some of the recent regulation changes, Coulthard said: "It was only my opinion of how the current rules are, (and they) are being confused as being part of the GPDA safety initiatives.

"They are completely separate," he continued. "I'm sure you all have opinions as to what your favourite qualifying set-up was over the years and what you think should happen with the regulations so that is disappointing, but nonetheless we obviously got an indication that we can meet at some point in the future and discuss it."
