Coulthard to test for Red Bull

As we predicted several days ago, Red Bull Racing has announced that David Coulthard will join the team for testing this week at Jerez. The Scotsman is expected to be confirmed as one of the drivers for 2005 before too long.

"I am pleased to have the opportunity to join the team here this week and am really looking forward to getting back behind the wheel of an F1 car," he said. "I have spoken to Dietrich Mateschitz, the new team owner, and it has been good to hear the plans for Red Bull Racing's future - it is certainly an exciting new team."
