DC想要繼續F1生涯

Seven races into his 15th consecutive season of Formula One, the sport's
oldest driver admits he is in a 'reflective' phase of his career.
在連續十四年以及第十五年的七場比賽過後，
DC這位場上最年長車手說，他現在正在一個「生涯中的"深思"階段」

Amid uncertainty about his role in the paddock for 2009, David Coulthard
scored his first points of the year with a surprise podium in Canada last
Sunday.
在不確定2009年出賽機會的同時，DC在上週的加拿大大賽中，
首次在本賽季中拿下分數，還且還是個上頒獎台的第三名佳績。

"I am in a reflective mood in my career as obviously 15 seasons is a long
time for anyone, especially after such an ugly start to the season," the
37-year-old Scot admitted afterwards.
DC:
"我現在正在一個深思的心情當中。
 十五年對任何人來說都是一段很長的時間，
 特別是今年令人失望的開季，"

Montreal was Coulthard's 62nd podium, in a F1 race career that stretches
right back to 1994, when as a 23-year-old Williams test driver he stepped in
to replace Ayrton Senna following the great Brazilian's death.
1994年，23歲的DC本來是威廉斯測試車手，
接替意外身故的傳奇車手洗拿，
以正式車手踏上了F1的賽道。
15年過去後，上週日的蒙特婁是DC第62次站上頒獎台。

Rumours suggest that if Coulthard does not continue racing for Red Bull next
year, he has a solid offer to become an expert pundit for British
television's Formula One coverage in 2009.
謠言說，
如果DC明年不代表紅牛出賽，
他將會成為2009年英國電視台的轉撥評論員。

"Definitely the clock is ticking," he smilingly admitted at the Circuit
Gilles Villeneuve, which was the scene of his very first points in 1994.
DC:"明顯地，歲月在流逝。"
Gilles Villeneuve賽道也是DC首次拿下分數的賽道。

"I've had a great journey in my career and through life and the alternative
doesn't excite me very much," said Coulthard, who recently attended a NASCAR
race.
最近參加過一場NASCAR比賽的DC說：
"在我的生命以及職業生涯中，我有了一段很好的旅程；
 而其他的選擇則不會讓我感到刺激。"

It is clear that Coulthard's Montreal podium is no guarantee of a renewed F1
contract for 2009.
雖然DC在蒙特婁上了頒獎台，
不過那並不保證一份確定的2009合約。

When asked by Motorsport Aktuell, Red Bull's motor racing advisor Dr Helmut
Marko insists that "it is too early in the season" to discuss the veteran's
future.
紅牛："現在討論還太早。"
