David Coulthard has said that if he was Michael Schumacher (yeah dream on DC) then he would be quitting the sport to spend more time with his family and kids. Coulthard who is always next year’s man also feels that luck has dominated the career of Schumacher.

"I have great respect for Michael, but if I were him, I'd quit racing and spend more time with my wife and kids. Beside his talent he also had the luck that everything fitted together perfectly, most notably the full support from the team. In my career things were never 100%.” Said Coulthard.

Coulthard who has always been the eternal optimist (next year is mine) feels that luck along with talent has seen Michael Schumacher deliver such glory to himself and Ferrari. The McLaren No2 driver only wishes he had a team that built themselves around him. Sadly McLaren have backed Mika Hakkinen and now Kimi Raikkonen ahead of Coulthard and off course this is the reason why we have never seen the best from him.

So if David was Michael he would retire, well DC if Michael was you he would have retired a long time ago and looked for a new line of work.
