You've completely missed the fact that the Red Bull team are sponsored by and advertsing the new Superman film then?

David Schumacher's alter-ego perhaps?

Did'nt they do the same thing last year with Star Wars?


Edit to add: Oh, and well done DC! A great drive

As I recall the mechanics wore Stormtrooper style helmets.

[V8 Archie]

No - a Superman cape wouldn't really work then would it? Besides, they weren't on the podium.

Actually, it was McLaren that had the Darth Vader helmets.

A lot of people say he looks like David Coulthard, but he can't possibly be him. Michael Coultard wears glasses, David Coulthard doesn't.

I think gtr-gaz was saying that Red Bull were advertising Star Wars last year, not that DC wore a Superman cape last year.

Maybe so, but Red Bull did have Stormtrooper helmets.

Agreed. He was lucky that a lot of front runners dropped out but nevertheless he drove well and deserves the podium.

In WWE he known as is Michael Cole

this is really odd for me as i now know his real name, and it has been found through a car thread and an amusing mistake

The cape looked really stupid although it meant you could spot him easily; he looked like an entrant at a Dracula-themed fancy-dress party.

[FourWheelDrift]

he is Craaaaaazzzzzy Dave Coulthard.

Did you hear Martin Brundle's reactoin?! "DC has a clause in his contract stating they must not do anything that brings him into disrepute. This comes very close"

being his mgr, he'd know
