As the year 2004 dawned, there was an air of uncertainty surrounding David Coulthard’s future in Formula 1. He was entering his final season with McLaren, and the writing was on the wall; his time with the Woking-based team was drawing to a close. The imminent arrival of Juan Pablo Montoya had thrown Coulthard’s future into sharp focus, and it was clear he’d have to explore other opportunities.

Enter Jaguar. The team, known for its distinct deep-green livery, was keen to capitalize on Coulthard’s wealth of experience. At the time, Jaguar had Mark Webber and Christian Klien at the wheel, but the prospect of acquiring a driver of Coulthard’s stature was an enticing proposition.
