David Coulthard: It Is What It Is
By David Coulthard. Published by Orion Books.
So, where do you stand on the career of David Coulthard?
Has he been an unbridled success whose statistics stand up to even the closest scrutiny? Is he a talented driver whose career had the misfortune to dovetail with those of a couple of the sport's rare freaks? Or is he someone who was given the best car in the field on at least two occasions, and failed to deliver a title?
The reality is that you could probably make a convincing argument for all three. Indeed, it's a question that Coulthard himself seems to struggle with in his new autobiography.
