Coulthard wants Alonso or Vettel

By on

In his ITV-column, Red Bull Racing driver David Coulthard talked about who should take over his seat next season. On previous occasions, DC already said that Sebastian Vettel would be the logical choice. But still the Scotsman is dreaming that double World Champion Fernando Alonso will join the team.

"I’ve been asked several times who I think should take over my seat next year. That’s a decision for the Red Bull management, but the commonsense answer is that it should go to the quickest guy with a proven track record who is available.

"That might be Fernando Alonso for instance; if the team could get him that would make sense because he has great credentials as a double world champion.

"But if we assume he’s not available, then it’s completely logical to take Sebastian Vettel, who is within the Red Bull family, is performing well at Toro Rosso and naturally wants to progress to the larger team. I’m confident he would do a very good job for our team."
