British former racing driver and broadcaster

David Marshall Coulthard is a British former racing driver and broadcaster from Scotland, active in Formula One from 1994 to 2008. Known by the nickname “DC,” he finished second in the 2001 Formula One World Drivers’ Championship with McLaren. Over 15 seasons, Coulthard won 13 Grands Prix and built a long career in top-level motor racing before moving into broadcasting. His public profile rests on that racing record and on his later work as a commentator and presenter.
