Coulthard is obviously number 2 in the team and no matter what people say, I believe that no F1 team can mut 100% into 2 cars.
Remember last season, it was amazing how Irvine's performance improved after Schumacher broke his leg! Ferrari focussed their attentions onto Irvine as he then became Number 1 driver.
If Coulthard could secure 1st driver status at McLaren, maybe he would stand a better chance of winning the championship.
(break a leg Mika!) jk.
To answer DC's critics, if he's and also-ran, why are McLaren sticking with him?
ferrari will never win the F1 title, because they are too weak and have to work so much harder than McLaren just to stay within a few tenths of a second, even with the worlds best driver behind the wheel.
