It Is What It Is
by David CoulthardThe stunningly honest and revealing autobiography of the most successful British Grand Prix driver of all time From his quiet beginnings in rural Scotland to his multi-millionaire lifestyle in Monte Carlo, where he owns one of the most luxurious hotels in the principality, David Coulthard's life story is an extraordinary one.
He got his breakthrough into Formula One in the tragic circumstances of Ayrton Senna's death in 1994, and quickly established himself as one of the best drivers on the circuit.
From 1996-2004, he drove for McLaren, one of the leading teams throughout the entire period, before moving to Red Bull for 2005-07.
Taking the reader from his early days when he first became hooked on racing karts at the age of eleven to the high-speed world of Formula One, Coulthard has written one of the most honest and powerful sports autobiographies of recent years.
He talks frankly about his ups and downs at McLaren and also about the reputation he gained for his playboy lifestyle.
Throughout it all he seeks to answer the questions about himself that anyone might ask, and so to reveal what it is that really drives him on.
His struggle to understand himself makes for a remarkable memoir.

Book arrived in a timely fashion. An interesting read from a true F1 insider that pulled no punches as he described his time in F1 and beyond.
I didn't know what to expect from this autobiography book by David Coulthard.I was sort of thinking that this bio would be a prose of "I'm one of the best Formula One drivers around, and the teams were too silly to drop me," but that wasn't what the book was.
It is not the best autobiographical book, nor do I share all the life principles of David, but I found out about DC that he is a honest guy and still exposed to errors as any human being. If you knew a bit about DC career, you would know that he was many times in the chase of World Title but never got it as he did not receive the proper support from his team, McLaren.
