David Coulthard: From Senna's Seat to Red Bull's Rise | The Story of My F1 Career (E363)

I was always looking for perfection. And when I got perfection, I could meet Michael, Mika, and all those guys. And there's a few examples in my career where I was world class. Red Bull came very late into the equation. Mr. Matterships came to the test. He said, first we get credibility, then we win the World Championship. Said hello to the pilots. We were crashing in Lyon with a single engine failure. That could have been it.

All over. Thirty years old. Done. That is the voice of David Culfard, thirteen time Grand Prix winner, a man who raced alongside the very best in one of the most competitive eras. In Formula One. A guy who's gone wheel to wheel through a Rouge with the likes of Michael Schumacher, Mika Hakken, and Damon Hill.

He's a guy who spent over a decade at the top of his sport competing for Williams and Red Bull. He's the longest serving McLaren driver in history. And this is the full story. Of what it really took to get there. And stay there. I'm not really sure how it's taken three hundred and fifty episodes to get DC on. Like you know that my friendship with him goes back a long way.
