David Coulthard to drive Channel 4 F1 team

David Coulthard, Britain’s 13-time grand prix winner, has joined Channel Four as part of its Formula One broadcasting team.

Channel Four will lead the sport’s terrestrial television coverage for the next three years after the BBC surrendered its broadcasting rights in December.

And Coulthard, who joined the BBC in 2009 after he called time on his 15-year racing career, has been unveiled as the first member of the network’s presenting team.
