Coulthard in reserve

Newly retired, David Coulthard will be the teams' reserve driver Red Bull et Toro Rosso during the Australian Grand Prix.

Present at all the Grands Prix on behalf of the BBC, the new commentator for the famous British television channel will therefore have to swap his microphone for the steering wheel in the very unlikely event that one of the two house drivers has to withdraw.

Expected at this post, Brendon Hartley has not yet obtained his super-license.
