Flashback 18 months, to the summer of 2004. David Coulthard is not happy. Okay, he has won 13 Grands Prix and has stood on countless Grand Prix podiums - and he is, of course, a wealthy man. He has a gorgeous girlfriend, too - a Brazilian model, no less, who goes (no, make that sashays) by the exotic name of Simone Abdelnour.
