From his quiet beginnings in rural Scotland to his multi-millionaire lifestyle in Monte Carlo, where he owns one of the most luxurious hotels in the principality, David Coulthard's life story is an extraordinary one. He got his breakthrough into Formula One in the tragic circumstances of Ayrton Senna's death in 1994, and quickly established himself as one of the best drivers on the circuit. From 1996-2004, he drove for McLaren, one of the leading teams throughout the entire period, before moving to Red Bull for 2005-07.

When he lines up for the 2004 Spanish Grand Prix, David Coulthard will have achieved ten years at the top of Formula 1. ‘DC’ made his Grand Prix debut in difficult circumstances, as the replacement for Ayrton Senna after the legendary Brazilian’s fatal crash at Imola. He had a creditable first season... securing points in all of the five races he finished. Since then, the honourable Scot has proved one of the fastest drivers of his generation, and immensely popular with British fans. This book – packed with anecdotes from family, friends and colleagues – tells his full story. Foreword by Sir Frank Williams.

As history sometimes sort of repeats, David Coulthard escaped injury when his car went up in flames during today's first free practice session ahead of the Turkish Grand Prix at Istanbul Park. Seconds after whipping past the session's checkered flag, Coulthard spun his Red Bull racing car in the first corner, when witnesses saw a leap of flames from underneath. Thinking it might cool the car (note: and likely unaware of the conflagration), Coulthard continued the lap, but eventually ditched, as marshals surrounded the car to extinguish the flames. It was discovered a fuel leak on his RB3 caused the blaze, damaging car's electrical systems and wiring looms and leading engineers to swap out its Renault V8. [F1]

For David Coulthard, the 2000 season will be the most important of his Formula One career to date. Having driven the best cars in Formula One in 1995 (The Williams-Renault FW17) and again in 1998/99 (The McLaren-Mercedes MP 4/13 and MP 4/14), the Scot has failed to make the maximum use of such equipment. 2000 will probably be his last realistic opportunity to become a Formula One Champion.
