He want to work with Adrian Newey
David Coulthard has vowed to push for a seat at Red Bull in 2007. The Scot, whose career was rescued by the energy drink-owned squad at the end of 2004, said he is now doubly motivated to prove he is good enough to steer an Adrian Newey-penned car next year.
While Newey - who has previously worked with 34-year-old Coulthard at Williams and McLaren - is already a fixture at Red Bull, his full influence will not be felt until the `RB3` is up and racing in season `07.

Newey, 47, has penned cars that have won more than 100 grands prix and thirteen championships.

Coulthard told the BBC: "My motivation is to be in an Adrian-influenced Red Bull in 2007. Within a few months we should start to feel (his) influence, but of course next year will be the biggest step because it will be part of an integrally-designed package.
"

Although Coulthard admits that he played a role in persuading Newey to leave McLaren, a side-effect is that top drivers like Juan Pablo Montoya and even Michael Schumacher are now linked with possible moves to the Milton-Keynes based team.

DC quipped: "But that`s part of the business."
