DC’s uses swansong to promote paraplegia research
As we told you a couple of days ago, David Coulthard’s Red Bull RB4 will run with a special-edition livery for his final ever F1 GP. And here it is, looking rather smart in all white, with red-and-blue trim. The Scot unveiled the car at Interlagos yesterday, with a little help from his friends - namely, the F1 drivers.
The reason behind the colour change? DC is helping to promote Wings For Life, a research foundation which hopes to find a cure for spinal cord injuries.
“I’m dedicating my last race to the vision of making paraplegia curable,” the Big Chin announced on Red Bull’s official website. “In Formula One success is determined by a few seconds, in medicine people think in terms of years. But in both disciplines, ambition and commitment are crucial factors that are needed in order to reach the finishing line as soon as possible. Wings for Life helps to accelerate the breakthrough in spinal cord research.”
What a guy! Yes, he’s a millionaire racing driver with a hot WAG and a f**k-off house in Monte Carlo, but it’s a great and selfless act, nonetheless.

Perhaps, Jelena, the same reason why Lewis broke off the chain by refusing to touch Kaz Nakajima…*eyeroll*
