David Coulthard takes his final bow
Former Formula 1 star Coulthard, who is quitting to dedicate more time to media duties, said: “Competing in my last race here at Hockenheim in front of so many DTM fans has been a great honour. I had intended securing a better result on the occasion of bowing out. However, you can’t pick and choose in the DTM. This is racing at the highest level. I have had an absolutely brilliant time in the past three years and will always look back with fondness to this period in my life.”
Fellow Scot Susie Wolff, now a Williams F1 test driver also bowed out after finishing 13th. She said: “I’m leaving with mixed emotions. I want to laugh and cry at the same time. I would have liked a better result than P13 but I’m looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life.”
