Two years ago, the former F1 driver tried to give away a pub, not sell it, title deeds and all, to the broadcaster. Coulthard made the revelation during a drive-along interview with broadcaster and former racing driver Jodie Kidd.
The former Red Bull driver had invested in The Brown Dog, a pub in Barnes, south-west London, alongside business partners George Glasgow Jr, chief executive of George Cleverley Shoes, and Sam Tidswell-Norrish, a founder member of the private equity firm Motive Partners. The pub, which first opened in 1898 as The Rose of Denmark, struggled to turn a profit despite the group's efforts to expand its food offering.
