Toro Rosso team principal Franz Tost has denied he grabbed Scott Speed by the neck during an altercation at the European Grand Prix.

American Speed slammed Tost after the Nurburgring race, saying he had been jerked back and forth after an argument in the pitlane.

"There were a couple of people who saw. He grabbed me right below the neck, on my fireproof t-shirt, and jerked me back and forth, let go, and then pushed me into the wall behind where the cars are," said Speed, who has been replaced at Toro Rosso by Sebastian Vettel for the remaining part of the season.

Tost, however, has refuted Speed's claims, saying he did not grab him by the neck, and adding that the American had been very critical of the team after his pitstop was delayed following torrential rain at the Nurburgring.

Speed retired from the race after spinning out when the downpour hit the track.

Tost said he had grabbed Speed by the shoulder, and admitted he later apologised to the driver.


So he shook him 'back and forth' by the shoulders? <yikes> So i guess thats ok then <dunce>
