David's Diary: The Quest For The Formula 1 1998 World Championship
- ISBN: 0684851792
- Description:
Jam packed full of glossy photography from the 1998 Formula One Season, David's Diary is an interesting glimpse of the day-to- day life of a driver of some of the fastest machines on earth. David Coulthard, perhaps the most unlucky competitor in 1998's Formula One battles, takes us through the ups and downs of his quest to win last year's Grand Prix world championship. Coulthard gives his readers a privileged view of the machinations behind his controversial decision to allow team mate and eventual champion Mika Hakkinen overtake him on the final lap of the season's first race in Australia. His rivalry with Michael Schumacher is tracked as it develops in to animosity after a dramatic collision in Argentina and, as the season reached its climax, into near fisticuffs in Belgium. Coulthard takes the reader through the disappointments of a season in which he started as many people's favourite to take the ultimate crown and finished with only one race win and a series of crashes and mechanical failures to his credit. The book ends on a philosophical note: "Maybe a diary with nothing in it but a long string of successes would be boring! I hope this one isn't and at the very least I can say that it is absolutely honest." --Chris Bunting
