Second in the championship in 2001 still marks the Scot's best season to date, and his third season with Red Bull is widely expected to be his last in the sport.

But Coulthard continues to surprise - he out-pointed team-mate Mark Webber last season and finished 10th in the championship in what was eventually a decent campaign.

If Red Bull can solve their reliability issues - and the early signs are positive - this season is likely to be better again for Coulthard.
