Head- DC needs to chill
Thu 12-02 2004
Patrick Head reckons David Coulthard would be faster if he learnt to relax more.
Coulthard’s F1 career is in jeopardy after McLaren signed Juan Pablo Montoya for 2005.
Head, whose Williams team gave Coulthard his debut back in 1994, is worried that could spell the end for the Scot.
He said: "David started his career with us but he joined McLaren after we decided to replace him with Jacques Villeneuve.
"It is difficult to work him out sometimes. When he is hot, he is almost perfect. But then at the next race he can be quite ordinary.
"He puts a huge amount of effort into his fitness and he is an intelligent guy who thinks about everything. But maybe he is too intense.
"Maybe if he relaxed it would allow that brilliance to come out more. Maybe there is too much intensity and analysing going on.
"Possibly McLaren came to that conclusion too. In his career there, he has either been outperformed by Mika Hakkinen or Kimi Raikkonen.
"When he's looking for a job, that fact is going to be difficult for him. Other teams are going to make a judgment on him being outperformed by his team-mates. There has to be a question mark about him because of that.
"But who knows? Maybe he will have his most successful ever season this year. I hope he does."
McLaren have refused to confirm that it will be Coulthard who makes way for Montoya. But the chances of them asking last year's championship runner-up Kimi Raikkonen to step aside seem very slim indeed.
Coulthard’s best hope of a 2005 drive is thought to lie with Toyota – although Ralf Schumacher is also in the frame at the Cologne-based team.
