David Coulthard
These days when i watch the Formula One, my loyalties
are quite split. I have grown over the years to love pretty
much most of the grid. However there was a time when my
heart belonged to one team, and one team only, Mclaren.
Ron Dennis, Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard were quite
simply my heros, and everyone else were the enemy. In
that team i had a favorate, and that was DC. My passions
at this point in my life were so strong that i quite often
got myself in trouble (not intentionally) by shouting
out obsenities at the screen, especailly when watching
abroad. On one occasion i was in the Canary Islands watching
the French Race in a German bar, looking like a Mclaren
threw up on me, ( hat and t shirt in 37 degree heat) when
DC was being held up by a certain German driver and finally
passed him flicking him the finger and displaying other
hand gestures. I jumped up shouting go on DC and then
a mouth full of not so pleasent insults at the certain
German driver, in the German bar. Needless to say my poor
sister and friend had to pull me out of that bar rather
sharply before i got pounced on.
The first time i actually got to attend a Grand prix
was for my 30th birthday pressi off a friend. i went to
Spa 2004 so excited to see the cars for real and watch
DC race in his last season for Mclaren, as it had already
been anounced that Montoya would take his place the next
season. (yeah that was a great hire there Uncle Ron).
DC crashed his car right infront of me (how rude) at least
i got to climb over a huge fence and collect a little
peice of his car!
Anyway DC, the guy that should have won a world title,
the current highest british point scorer (although probably
not for long). The guy that has a brilliant mind, great
sense of humour, a great driver, who never should have
been the "almost guy". Bad luck was his middle
name for many years, and for many years i suffered and
celebrated with his wins and misfortunes. The guy who
was British when he won, and Scotish when he lost. The
guy that will always remain one of my favorate drivers,
and for me, has become the highlight of the BBC F1 coverage.
DC i Salute you.
