David Coulthard ... in Twynholm, Kirkcudbrightshire {Dumfries and Galloway since 1975}), is a Scottish Formula One racing driver. He is a successful driver in the current era of the sport with 13 grand prix victories. By virtue of a long, consistent and careful career, much of it spent in top teams, he has amassed a large points haul, and lies fifth on the all-time scorers list, being the top British scorer. He currently drives for Red Bull Racing.

I have been a David Coulthard fan for as long as I can remember, and will continue to be for a long time to come. This season I felt he has been let down by the car and its poor reliability, but he is still in with a chance of doing well in the Drivers Championship, but unless a huge miracle happened winning it is out the window. One of the best things about DC is his determination. I know people knock him and think that McLaren should drop him, but no matter what happens he always does his job to the best of his ability, just as a true racing driver should.(something some of the others good do with learning!) His career is as follows ...

David Coulthard was Micheal Schumacher's main challenger for the world championship title in 2001. This has been Coulthards best season yet but even so he ended up with just over half as many points as Schumacher by the end of the season. In 2000 he ended up with more points than in 2001 (73 as opposed to 65) but he only managed to make third position. Insulting to Coulthard it may seem, but I think his second postition was largely due to Mika Hakkinen being off form for most of the season rather than due to an improvement in Coulthards driving. Coulthard is a good, consistant, reliable driver. Every race that he has finished this season he has scored ...

When will he learn to stop making himself sound so stupid? I have just read an article in which David is once again hyping up his championship credentials for next year. Ron Dennis needs to inform David that before he can talk of winning a championship he needs to beat not only Michael Schumacher but also his teammate. I hold no reservations that had Hakkinen’s car been up to scratch in the reliability department he would have pushed Michael and with him obliterated David. I also firmly believe that David needs to be cautious of his new teammate Kimi Raikkonen, for this young protegee has the look of a young Michael Schumacher in his Benetton days. ...
