David Coulthard

David Marshall Coulthard MBE (1971) is a former Scottish Formula One driver and current BBC pundit.

Appearance on 2DTV
He is constantly trying to beat German Michael Schumacher in the race to the world championship but always falls at the final hurdle. The show constantly pokes fun at his status as a number 2 driver. His misfortune is explained in three seperate sketches;

In the first, Coulthard is blown up by his own heat seeking missile that his McLaren has deployed. In the second, he is lapped by Schumacher who promptly finishes first, second and third in his extremely fast pedal car, and in the third, racing in the Arabian Grand Prix, Coulthard crosses the finish line first which turns to be a mirage.

Schumacher also lampoons him as the tortoise in a retelling of The Tortoise and The Hare.
