The End of David Coulthard's Championship Dreams

[Londoner]

Evening everyone

This month we published our very first Gravel Trap two-parter, where Klon took a deep dive into David Coulthard's 2001 title challenge, pondering how exactly did our favourite Scotsman go from being 4 points off the lead after six races to a whopping 58 points behind Michael Schumacher at season's close. Catch both parts right here!

There's a small mistake regarding Nürburgring race. Schumacher was aware that his T-car had some problems and went for a shakedown - with car stopping on track. He then took his race car and won.

Seems to have indirectly predicted Charles Leclerc's 2022.

I always wonder what went wrong with Hakkinen in 2001. I mean he proved he still had it at Barcelona, Silverstone and Indy but so many times he was nowhere. I mean Nurburgring he was only like a second ahead of Irvine's Jag at the end!!

Three years of fighting for the title most likely took its toll on Mika plus he had that big accident in Melbourne.
