The strong rumour in the days before the British Grand Prix is that David Coulthard will announce his retirement from Formula One this weekend at Silverstone.

The veteran of approaching 250 Grand Prix, 15 consecutive seasons and 13 wins - and at 37 the oldest active race driver - is out of contract at Red Bull at the end of the season.

With German youngster Sebastian Vettel expected to claim his seat for next year, it is now strongly speculated that Coulthard will take the opportunity of perhaps his last home race to signal the impending end of his F1 career.

He said recently about the prospect of retirement as a race driver: "When that moment comes, there you go.

That's the journey of life. You move on to the next thing.

"There are a lot worse things that can happen to you and you move on to the next challenge," Coulthard added.

I think its about the right time to do it, on his own terms instead of being told to leave.

Surely not.
I'm guessing Red Bull will offer him a test drive/management role.
Or there is the BBC next year, or Lemans?

A driver of his talents, there is a number of options.
He'd be stupid to go to NASCAR. Have to move his family and tht, don't think so.

You se Franchitti lost his drive WTF

I agree and I think DC has a second career in say DTM or the LeMans Series as I highly doubt he will giveup racing all together.

I dno he's always claimed he wouldn't get the same level of enjoyment out of F1.
He's been there, done that as far as Lemans is concerned. As for the DTM, alot of past F1 racers struggle, largely due to the different style of driving.

Then NASCAR it is for a half a season and once he's booted off the team he can hangout with Jacque and maybe they will record a duet album !

Whilst I think Coulthard may not as good as a driver as he once was, I still think he has a lot to offer. He's very experienced, so could use that in a car at the very bottom of the grid (if he wanted to) or could move to another racing series. It does look like Red Bull are wanting rid of Coulthard, so perhaps it's better that he goes on his own terms.

Like i have always said teams need balance and mark webber and DC are very similar. One of them had to go to make room for the fast hungry rookie and in Vettel Red bull have good driver that can win races. It's been a good run for DC and he can look with very few regrets

[przemo]

Bye, bye DC
