The year is 2004 and David Coulthard is in his final season with McLaren. DC knows that his future will not be with the Woking-based team and that a certain Juan Pablo Montoya is set to take his place. He has to look for other options and attracts interest from Jaguar. The team with the deep-green livery has Mark Webber and Christian Klien as its drivers but considers Coulthard’s experience as a good option to move the operation forward.
Together with manager Martin Brundle, Coulthard discussed the pros and cons of a potential switch to Jaguar, but their conclusion is clear. "I decided that I would not sign for Jaguar - I would rather quit Formula 1 than sign with them," Coulthard tells Autosport nearly 20 years on.
