About David Coulthard:
"David Coulthard is one of the few drivers to admit to having a lucky pair of underpants. From his early karting days he wore the same underwear for every race, until an unfortunate accident during a Formula Vauxhall race at Spa-Francorchamps. Medics had to cut off his race suit revealing a holey, worn-out pair of boxers to onlookers.
From then DC decided to retire the underwear, but continued to carry them in a little black bag with a four leaf clover to every race until someone at McLaren threw them away."
Martin Brundle reported that a former team mate didn't like being touched once he'd got into the car on the grid - before the formation lap. If someone did touch him to wish him good luck or whatever, he would get out of the car and then get back in again. |
DC was a bit of an oddball with his then lucky charm and ended up with lucky 13 F1 wins
Motor racing is dangerous and it's no surprise Checo carries holy pictures being from a strongly Catholic country.
