Brazilian IndyCar legend Gil de Ferran explains why F1 veteran David Coulthard was his favourite team-mate from his glittering career in today's Friday Favourite. ⬇️
Three front runners emerge when Autosport asks two-time CART Indycar champion Gil de Ferran for his favourite team-mate, before the 2003 Indianapolis 500 winner selects a driver he spent but one season racing alongside back in 1990.
Aged 22 and 19 respectively, the pair got along famously and often shared accommodation at races. De Ferran ended the 1990 campaign second in the British championship, won by Vincenzo Sospiri for David Sears Motorsport , and third in the Opel Lotus Euroseries using the same cars - although unlike fifth-placed Coulthard he didn’t win a race.
Things didn’t get off on a brilliant footting however. As Coulthard recounted in his autobiography, in the first continental Opel Lotus Euroseries round at Zolder - which didn’t count for points - “I ran into the back of him, cut his tyres and the resulting puncture retired him from the race. Meanwhile, my car was relatively untouched and I went on to finish on the podium. I remember him hanging over the pitwall giving me the wanker sign and the V’s, he was so angry.
