Absolutely. The years where he just dragged the early versions around the track with precision and consistency, grabbing the last of the points, and banking hours worth of data, laid a massive foundation for that team. Same can be said about Schumacher’s time in the early Merc, and probably what Alonso will lay down as a base for Aston. These old guys are worth every last dollar in the long run.
@@mathewkirk1748 Well said my man. I struggled to understand what the hell michael did when he drove for merc. but I was younger and ignorant. i can apreciated the effort alot more now. speaking of Fernando, he has still not peaked in my eyes. believe in the plan. WC 2025 Fernando fucking Alonso in an Aston. I hope:)
Amazing isn't it? A couple of brains working together to turn Red Bull into the powerhouse it is today. They didn't look back after DC and AN came together to give life to the beast.
For all the work DC has done for RB to lay the foundation for what it is today, he absolutely deserves to experience such masterpiece of machinery. Now I wanna see Newey, Webber, and Vettel in the RB19 as well
I kind of want there to be a mini "senior season" between F1 seasons now, imagine all the old legends (or those that at least want to do this ofc) doing a couple of sprint races in last seasons car of the last team they drove for, that would be amazing
I've had the pleasure to work with DC on several occassions for these kinds of Red Bull productions. And he really is just as likeable, genuin, humble and professional in person as he comes across in the content. He gives everyone the same amount of respect and time. Such a gentleman!
DC is one of the smartest, funniest and most knowledgeable lads around, and it's an absolute joy to watch every time he does coverage for F1. It's so amazing to see him tear up the track like an absolute pro!
Ill say it over and over again, despite being a Merc fan, you absolutely have to love RBs marketing and the content they put out. This is just awesome to see, really fun video. You guys are doing a ton for F1 by putting this content out. Hopefully next year Merc gives you a challenge lol, good luck!
Red bull, one of the biggest PR companies in the world. Who just happens to sell a drink as well. Im no fan of the drinks, but I like the PR stunts and content a lot usually too!
52 years old in an current gen era car is fantastic, you can see the old school early 2000s trackline approach Quite a reward from Horner to a person who was dare to left McLaren Mercedes and switched to a "new" team run by drink company and develop the car from not competitive into very dominating.. Also how people remember DC nowadays : "Schumacher angry pitlane meme"
Which is sad, because Coulthard is a crucial part of F1 history. One of Schumacher's key rivals, and pivotal in RB's rise. Meme cultures in anything as rich as F1 doesn't seem to be anything of value to me.
I kinda of wished they would have posted a raw footage of the lap. He wasnt pushing it probably driving at pre-season media pace, I am very surpised that he's able to provide commentary while driving after being away from F1 car for so long, but i think its doable as he was at the nurburgring with vettel for a media event.
@@adityanarain9428 Nah, he was clearly number 2 behind Hakkinen. Back in the days i didn't like him very much. But over the years after his carrier it turned out he is a quite funny and smart guy.
I loved the way DC described driving the RB19. Absolutely phenomenal! Felt as if I was there in the cockpit instead of him. He really put into perspective the amount of effort that goes into building these cars that are practically spaceships. Legend!
Red Bull is kind of company which takes a good care of its drivers, Sebastian Buemi and DC are still under RB's payroll, Mark Webber had RB money in his pocket years after he retired from F1, the company still supports Marc Marquez in MotoGP despite he's been riding for rival teams since RB-KTM partnership and Alex Albon during 2022 season in Williams had it as personal sponsor, he separated from RB just because the nature of Mercedes-Williams cooperation. Kudos to Red Bull, I wish we had more sponsors like it.
Even though Alex had to separate from Red Bull Racing due to nature of Mercedes-Williams cooperation, the wider Red Bull still is a personal sponsor for Alex which is why he has Red Bull logo on his Helmet. That's how much they support their drivers. Yes the main team is Sink or Swim for drivers, but should it be any different? They are a top team, demanding excellence in all departments from themselves and others, winning everything out there to win. They invest millions per driver in their development through junior categories and are actually one of those rare teams where if you have the Talent, you will get the seat one day as opposed to some recent examples where even the F2 champions don't get the F1 promotion despite being signed to an academy from an early age. They give drivers all opportunity to prove themselves and if they're good enough, they stay and they win, or else they give that opportunity to someone else. That's how it should be. A meritocracy! And as you mentioned, its not like they just leave their drivers hanging out to dry. Most of the Red Bull F1 rejects have found success in other forms of Motorsports with Red Bull as their sponsor and almost half the Grid has or had some ties with Red Bull at one stage. I just don't get the notion of hate that they receive for actually implementing a meritocracy.
How freaking cool was that? Coulthard is a classic Scott with dry humourand lightheartedness. At 52 years old he gave us a reference to some degree of what it would be light as a mere mortal to drive that car. Christian Horner is a total classic also as was Liam. Cheers!
@@Gecmajster123456 He grew up in a small village in the very south of Scotland near the border with England, it starts getting more diluted the more south you go. And starts getting more mental the more north you go😂
Did you happen to watch the F1 on BBC in 2011? It was the only year we got two drivers as the commentary team in a very long time. It was just DC and Brundle every session dropping a track/sim racer knowledge course. Honestly, in that season they went through everything, how and when to trail break, lift and coast, how BB impacts cornering. I'm pretty sure DC went into detail about the mp4/13's extra brake pedal, suspension setup, cornering lines(beyond general chat about the 'racing line'), engine breaking. DC wasn't long off the grid too, so his knowledge of the current cars was still very relevant. It was by far the best period of f1 commentary in the last few decades.
I happen to like Crofty, I cannot stand Jaques, but I do enjoy the F1 broadcast if DC is allowed to comment. but if I had to choose on F1 TV I'll take Crofty and Brundle every time.@@zelig1799
The car went out the Pitlane past the start finish line and then back into the pits at least 6 times maybe more that day. Roughly 2 laps but only one past the start-line.
Nice seeing DC putting in a lap in the RB19, he was there for the start of RBR and put in the laps. Some day many years from now, Max is going to climb back into this car and for many, it will bring tears to their eyes.
Thanks DC and Red Bull for an ear to ear smile throughout. Liam comes across as a thoroughly decent guy. Not my team but they seem to promote a family feel. Very enjoyable.
Yeah they've done great things in other areas like bboy dancing, cart race or the homemade airplane competition. And everyone seems like they're having fun, I love it
I mean, DC drives V8 Red Bull cars fairly often. He's still in shape and a sharp driver. Obviously, he wouldn't be able to compete in one anymore, but to drive it at 80% of its potential? No problemo.
A fantastic watch. Love DC, he knows what he is on about and has everyones respect for it. Would absolutely love to see Seb do this and hear his feedback on the car. That would be incredible.
Finally David gets to drive that beast, and he deserves it as he is that one guy who somehow never quit his RB job, even if they did not have a car for him. For me, he is like Marko and Christian, (a) Mr. RedBull. So that being said, i'm really happy for David :)
Coulthard was a significant factor in Newey signing for Red Bull. Given that, Coulthard may turn out to be one of Red Bull's most lucrative ever signings.
Yea, clearly Liam Lawson is talking about new Formula One Cars. Don't forget, Liam Lawson drove in Super Formula, F2 and several other car classes and Formula's. Same with DC. With good social skills you can infer that Lawson is talking about Formula one in general, not just the RB19. @@definer0
This sort of thing warms my heart. I know it's all PR, but there's also no other good reason to risk such an expensive item. But to pay respect to a great driver, to allow a race driver to experience the very first then the very latest machine of very different generations - this is what it's all about. Respect, fun, honouring those who came before you etc. And you can see what it truly meant to DC to have such a rare experience. It's like seeing old race cars being driven flat out rather than gathering dust in a private collection, never to be driven again. Excellent stuff Red Bull and DC.
That RB19 is one hell of a car, truly something special, honestly watching this video makes me sad that we will never see that car racing on the grid again, damn, I guess you really don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.
Respect DC ! You have always been one of my favourite characters in F1 (and I have been watching for 50+ years) and even though I am neither Scottish or even from the UK - I will always be a fan ! The expression on your face, the gleaming in your eyes showed it all ... a racer through and through ! Stay well !
RBR is such a different team on the grid, from the loud music to how they seem to bring back former drivers like Ricciardo and now DC drives the RB19! Hat’s off to you guys.
DC was my favorite driver when I was a kid. I just loved something about him. And now, he is my favorite F1 promoter. He still looks to be in great shape, talks passionately and throws jokes all the time. Such a joy to watch him. So nice of RB to let him drive the current car for a change. He definitely deserved it.
He will probably get his chance. This is likely the most successful F1 car ever for many years to come. And as such you can be sure that Red Bull will market the heck out of it. Expect Seb to drive it in one of the upcoming show events.
So awesome to see david in a modern redbull suit and car. Also love hearing him throughout the lap, would love to have more of that from Max or Checo. Also other teams take notes on how to do content
Love DC he is always on the nose with his commentary and his interviews, what a great guy just make a Redbull history series with him as the presentator walking past all the cars and what made them work or what made them fail
Was at Silverstone on 6th September during the heatwave when this I believed was filmed. Thank you Oracle Red Bull Racing for doing this on that date, so could see an F1 car going round the circuit during family trip to Silverstone Museum to see the classic Prost Ferrari 1990 and Senna's 1991 McLaren. Worth standing on Luffield Corner being chased by a Wasp hah- Even a weird bot account reposted this in the comments.
I’m always in awe that they are able to still talk whilst testing the cars limit. Here I am doing go karts having to remind myself to catch a breath sometimes.
Is that Traction Control at 3:45 right out of Cobbs corner? Sounds like it (just like in the F1 game), but I know F1 cars don't have TC during the race. Is it a feature they can turn on though?
Thank you Oracle Red Bull Racing and David for this! Its nice to get someone elses input on this fantastic combined effort of the most successful race car
David Coulthard is an amazing driver and a formidable person! I met him in Jeddah in 2021, i shouted « David!! » and the guy just casually turned, said hi and engaged in a casual conversation with me! I told him how big of a fan of his i was since his Mclaren days, and his humbleness is indescribable.. He gave me 10min of his time chatting about F1 like he was a simple fan like i was, he even proposed to resume the chat afterwards in the paddock after his press conference with the top 3 drivers of the Q3!! Top lad, an example of a true gentleman, and especially a true F1 fan.. Thank you David, will never forgive that! Cheers
That was so awesome to watch thank you David coltar. I remember the days of you racing 15 years ago such joy. I've been following formula 1 since the '60s. Being that I'm 62 years old lol Jim Clark was my first introduction to formula 1
I think it felt nimble for DC becuase even though these cars are 300kg heavier from his last season, its so planted that you're probably not fighting it and dancing around the entire time. Atleast that is the feeling I get when driving around in sims.
Oh hell yes!! Can't believe this actually happened haha, amazing. Thanks for the fanservice guys! Would love to see some more of the older drivers return for things like this! Heck, why stop there, can we please just get some sort of mini "senior season" of a couple of sprint races between the actual F1 seasons please? where the old legends drive last seasons cars of their final teams?? just for the "im still faster than you are" bragging rights??? Somebody with some 'weight' email the FIA that we need this please 😉😂👍
Great video. DC still has it - he made it look easy to drive that car - which is a handful even for modern drivers. He managed to do a commentary while racing it.
Actually no. These new cars are veyr easy to drive compared to his era. The only thing that is complex is getting the last few tenths out of them dealing with the complex steering wheel controls.
David Coulthard - legendary talent, brilliant driver, consummate sportsman. Great to see him in the RB-19. I really miss his calling F1 races. His witty, inciteful commentary and intimate knowledge of how the cars work made watching F1 races feel like having an excellent meal. Sky Sports leaves much to be desired.
Happy for DC, he put a lot of effort into building up this team, glad he got to drive their best car to this date
Absolutely. The years where he just dragged the early versions around the track with precision and consistency, grabbing the last of the points, and banking hours worth of data, laid a massive foundation for that team.

Such a treat for us to be taken around a lap in the RB19 by the legend that is DC! Thank you. 🙏🏽😊
DC looks *right* in that modern RB race suit. He still looks like he could be dangerous out there. 😎
2:04 that shot made me emotional. I felt empathy for his old horse looking at him go with the newer, younger, more powerful one. Wow
Well spotted!
It's a shame he only got one lap. I would have liked to see him get fully comfortable over the course of a day.
With F1's silly rules, I bet they only had a limited number of laps for whatever they were doing and wanted to get back to it.
Don't forget he is 52.
He got more than 1 lap, teams are allowed 100km of running on a filming day so he likely got 23km or so since Lawson also had running on that day.
He would have pushed it harder had the lap’s been available.😊
The car went out the Pitlane past the start finish line and then back into the pits at least 6 times maybe more that day. Roughly 2 laps but only one past the start-line.
Rest well RB19. Privileged to have seen you perform.
I have a huge amount of respect for DC he helped this team go forward, and i think the team know this
Nice seeing DC putting in a lap in the RB19, he was there for the start of RBR and put in the laps. Some day many years from now, Max is going to climb back into this car and for many, it will bring tears to their eyes.
We needed a special RB1 livery for next year's car as memorial to this event!
I want the metallic back anyway, i’m sooo over the matt paints.

Its entirely possible but I get a weird feeling it'll be at 2025 just to make a 2-decade anniversary lol
Thanks DC and Red Bull for an ear to ear smile throughout.

RB19 is a better car than the AT04 of AlphaTauri, especially the 1st half of the season.
He didn't say it was easy to drive competitively fast though.
The new gen of cars are very easy to drive... slowly. Unlike the old cars which were not easy to drive, even slowly.
DC is one of my favourite F1 drivers, he has such charisma and also had some driving skills.
This sort of thing warms my heart. I know it's all PR, but there's also no other good reason to risk such an expensive item.

If I see DC and RB, I click. Simple as that.
RBR is such a different team on the grid, from the loud music to how they seem to bring back former drivers like Ricciardo and now DC drives the RB19! Hat’s off to you guys.
DC was my favorite driver when I was a kid. I just loved something about him. And now, he is my favorite F1 promoter. He still looks to be in great shape, talks passionately and throws jokes all the time. Such a joy to watch him. So nice of RB to let him drive the current car for a change. He definitely deserved it.
Always loved David's driving.
SEBASTIAN VETTEL NEEDS TO DO THIS
He will probably get his chance. This is likely the most successful F1 car ever for many years to come. And as such you can be sure that Red Bull will market the heck out of it. Expect Seb to drive it in one of the upcoming show events.
So awesome to see david in a modern redbull suit and car.
Also love hearing him throughout the lap, would love to have more of that from Max or Checo. Also other teams take notes on how to do content
This is sick, nice to see something after the season!
Nick, sick nice is niet goed engels
Amazing!! Thanks for showing the whole lap simply without over-editing
0:12
DC learned well, Powerpoint is how you get into top teams.
He had fun, you could see it when he get's ut of the car. He's beaming with awe
Fantastic to see RedBull made this reunion possible between RB racing machine and DC. Would love to see Vettel get his chance as well!
Gotta win a forth one next year for Vettel to get a drive as the OG "4 time world champ"
Love DC he is always on the nose with his commentary and his interviews, what a great guy just make a Redbull history series with him as the presentator walking past all the cars and what made them work or what made them fail
Was at Silverstone on 6th September during the heatwave when this I believed was filmed. Thank you Oracle Red Bull Racing for doing this on that date, so could see an F1 car going round the circuit during family trip to Silverstone Museum to see the classic Prost Ferrari 1990 and Senna's 1991 McLaren. Worth standing on Luffield Corner being chased by a Wasp hah- Even a weird bot account reposted this in the comments.
I love that they keep DC around and keep him active with the team and brand.
1:52 I didn't know they charge the car with USB-C, oh man!
I love seeing DC in the commentary box and still getting after it with RB.
❤ love DC from the beginning. Glad to see him take the rb19 for a spin. Thank you RB. What an iconic shot and the v10 at 0:0:22
I’m always in awe that they are able to still talk whilst testing the cars limit. Here I am doing go karts having to remind myself to catch a breath sometimes.
Is that Traction Control at 3:45 right out of Cobbs corner? Sounds like it (just like in the F1 game), but I know F1 cars don't have TC during the race. Is it a feature they can turn on though?
Current F1 cars don't have traction control
What an incredible opportunity experience the most dominant of the new F1 cars 15 years after retirement.
Holy Trinity of Formula 1: MP4/4, F2002, RB19
Some would say W11, F2004, RB19
Thank you Oracle Red Bull Racing and David for this! Its nice to get someone elses input on this fantastic combined effort of the most successful race car
No matter what you think/feel about RB, that's a bad a$$ machine! Well done ORBR! I'm an overall fan of F1, and multiple teams!
David Coulthard is an amazing driver and a formidable person! I met him in Jeddah in 2021, i shouted « David!! » and the guy just casually turned, said hi and engaged in a casual conversation with me! I told him how big of a fan of his i was since his Mclaren days, and his humbleness is indescribable.. He gave me 10min of his time chatting about F1 like he was a simple fan like i was, he even proposed to resume the chat afterwards in the paddock after his press conference with the top 3 drivers of the Q3!! Top lad, an example of a true gentleman, and especially a true F1 fan.. Thank you David, will never forgive that! Cheers
I love David Coulthard! So glad he is connected to Red Bull :)
That was so awesome to watch thank you David coltar. I remember the days of you racing 15 years ago such joy. I've been following formula 1 since the '60s. Being that I'm 62 years old lol Jim Clark was my first introduction to formula 1
I think it felt nimble for DC becuase even though these cars are 300kg heavier from his last season, its so planted that you're probably not fighting it and dancing around the entire time. Atleast that is the feeling I get when driving around in sims.
Simply lovely to see cristian smiling and enjoying his work in the video even though he had all the drama ongoing at the time of filming
Oh hell yes!! Can't believe this actually happened haha, amazing. Thanks for the fanservice guys! Would love to see some more of the older drivers return for things like this!
Heck, why stop there, can we please just get some sort of mini "senior season" of a couple of sprint races between the actual F1 seasons please? where the old legends drive last seasons cars of their final teams?? just for the "im still faster than you are" bragging rights???
Somebody with some 'weight' email the FIA that we need this please 😉😂👍
I love DC's commentary, makes you engaged in the video and he's doing it while driving
I truly hope Liam can get his f1 chance sometime soon. I'll definitely be rooting for him.
Much respect for the team to honor its past drivers. RB is a team unlike no other. DC great to see them give you a crack at RB19.
Can't David succeed Horner? Gentleman at its best, greetings from the Netherlands.....
Great video. DC still has it - he made it look easy to drive that car - which is a handful even for modern drivers. He managed to do a commentary while racing it.
Actually no. These new cars are veyr easy to drive compared to his era. The only thing that is complex is getting the last few tenths out of them dealing with the complex steering wheel controls.
David Coulthard - legendary talent, brilliant driver, consummate sportsman. Great to see him in the RB-19.
I really miss his calling F1 races. His witty, inciteful commentary and intimate knowledge of how the cars work made watching F1 races feel like having an excellent meal. Sky Sports leaves much to be desired.
Its thanks to DC that Red Bull is what we know and love today
Lucky You DC !! and congratulations for the thrill ride at 53. The "No Respect Laughs" were unacceptable. You were racing F1 before they were born
Simply incredible 🔥 Nice to see Liam, GP, CH, Tom in the video 👍😍
Maybe not the best driver but certainly one of the most easygoing and coolest guys ever. By the way, did I hear that correct 5:55?
As a Scottish Kiwi, I thoroughly enjoyed that. Can't wait till Liam gets the full time drive he deserves!😊
Yep. They will keep Yuki for now to keep Honda and Japanese support in F1, Send DR to replace Perez and make Max happy. Done!
DC is top class. Was privileged to watch DC showing his skills and some donuts in Mumbai, India at Red Bull event in back in March 2023 😍
