Since leaving Formula One he hasn’t totally left behind the world of driving as he currently presents the Formula One coverage for the BBC and has recently been seen in the Race of Champions and also competing in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters in 2010 where he finished 16th.

Although officially retired from racing, the two-time Monaco Grand Prix winner Coulthard is still very much involved in F1 as a BBC commentator.

He uses his distinct insight on the sport, having raced for Williams F1, McLaren-Mercedes and Red Bull Racing in 15 seasons. Throughout his career, he has blazed his own trail is racing history, having managed a total of 13 wins, 62 podium finishes and 12 pole positions.

The TW Steel ambassador since last May, will again compete in the German-based DTM Series in 2011, racing for Team Mücke Motorsport, while he also serves as a Formula One commentator for BBC Television – using his unique insight as a 13-time Grand Prix winner having raced for Williams F1, McLaren-Mercedes and Red Bull Racing in 15 seasons in the sport. 

“I’m thoroughly enjoying working with TW Steel as an ambassador so I guess it was only natural that the next step was to produce a watch together,” stated Coulthard.  “I think the end result is certainly one that maintains TW Steel’s bold appeal while it perfectly reflects my own appreciation for subtle yet distinctive styling.  To be launching it in Monaco is extra special given my successes here but it is also fitting considering this is an appealing, high-end watch!”
