Coulthard not thinking about retirement yet

David Coulthard has three races left in his career as Formula 1 driver but the Scotsman is still doing the best he can to bring in the points for Red Bull Racing. Red Bull Racing is currently in seventh position in the constructors' championship, three points down on sister team Scuderia Toro Rosso.

Coulthard announced his retirement from racing in Formula One back in July but is determined to give it his best for Red Bull. His target for the final races of the season is clear: "I would like to contribute more points to the board than I have managed to do so this year," he said. "Mark has propped up the team in that respect. I have only had one points scoring finish, so that obviously has been a disappointment to me as the season has played out so far. I will just take each of those races as they come.

"We don't feel any particular countdown or any regret or any of those sorts of things. I am enjoying being here as I will enjoy being in Melbourne, or wherever the first grand prix happens to be next year, but in a different capacity. It is the natural journey of life. For those of you who have been around as long as I have in Formula One there has been evolution in your life, I hope you have, and there are a lot of you who have been in Formula One a lot longer than I have," Coulthard said in Singapore.
