Coulthard's optimism intact...
"Nothing has changed from the last race except there are less points available to recover the situation," said the Scot. "We all know it's a very high wall we are trying to pull ourselves up, but we only have a short rope. We certainly need a leg up. But I'm not going to say it's over until it's over. Why should I? Why should I accept anything to be other than what the situation is, which is a difficult one."
