Mark Webber called on Formula One to monitor race starts more closely after accusing Red Bull's David Coulthard of jumping the gun at the Japanese Grand Prix.
"The biggest thing is they have to do something about people jumping starts," said the Williams driver, who finished fourth at Suzuka after starting seventh, alongside Coulthard in sixth.
"I mean Coulthard went two weeks early. It was like Ralf (Schumacher) in Brazil.
"With the technology we have, they have to do something. One thousand per cent, he went before the lights went out."
Coulthard was less than impressed with the Australian's charge.
"Go speak to the FIA if you've got a problem," the Scot told reporters.
"There's a start system in place. As the lights started to change I went. It doesn't really matter what the other drivers think."
