Red Bull come to Coulthard’s rescue

DAVID COULTHARD has been handed a Formula One lifeline by the new Red Bull Racing team, who yesterday gave the Scot a one-year contract.

Coulthard was left without a Formula One drive after being replaced by Juan Pablo Montoya at McLaren for 2005.

He agreed to race for Jaguar next season before the team were put up for sale by parent company Ford but after Red Bull’s buy-out, he has eventually found his way to Milton Keynes.
