Experience counts at Red BullDavid Coulthard, the oldest driver in Formula One, has taken a dig at a few of his colleagues.
The 35-year-old Scot, hitting out at pay-drivers and sons of famous fathers, was defending his decision to stick around for a fourteenth consecutive
season in the sport this year.
"I don't pay for my cockpit or have a father who drove in Formula One - I am still here because my team believes that I bring them value by performing at the highest level," Red Bull's Coulthard told motorline.cc.
He said recently that his 2005 and 2006 team-mate, Christian Klien, entered the F1 circus with Red Bull backing at too early an age.
"Christian drives very well and he is probably good enough for Formula One," Coulthard said of the new Honda test driver, "but he lacked experience. It's just like in everyday life - you know much more now than when you were 16."
