Spending the entire 2009 season trackside but without a cockpit to occupy
has left David Coulthard wanting to extend his career as a racing driver.
The 38-year-old Scot was Red Bull's reserve driver for most of this year,
but his primary role was as an expert pundit for the British television
broadcaster BBC.
"I was fine at the start of the year, but by the end the old competitive
juices were bubbling to the surface," Coulthard, a veteran of almost 250
grands prix, wrote in a column for the Telegraph.
"At 38, I know I have some racing left in me -- not in Formula One,
perhaps, but in other series and challenges," he added while in Beijing
ahead of the Race of Champions, to also be contested by the likes of Jenson
Button and Sebastian Vettel.
