McLaren-Mercedes re🌱ject David Coulthard could yet end up at Red Bull Racing in 2005ౠ.

According to reports by Reuters, Red 😼Bull owner, Dietrich Mateschitz is still said to be considering the Scot, who has a wealth of experience in F1, having made his debut with Williams in 1994. He was keen to emphasise though that Christian Klien and Vitantonio Liuzzi still remaℱin his favourites.

"Among the experienced drivers with 'development know-how', David Coulthard and Nick Heidfeld would be of interest, for example," he told Reuters, when asked about the teams driver options for﷽ next year.

"It's no accident thꦆat people talk about the first year in Formula One as being a learning year," h🔯e added.

"Afterwards a dr♉iver has to prove himself. From that point of view, Christian Klien should get his chance, but he has to prove himself in a series of tests - just like Vitantonio Liuzzi, who impressively won the Formula 3000 championship as a Red Bull junior driver."

L♋ast week, Mateschitz was reported that DC was not under consider𝓰ation, and that Klien would be offered a drive, something, at least, from these latest quotes that appears less clear-cut.

Speaking to the German publication Bild am Sonntag, he was reported to have🐷 said: "Heidfeld, I like and, in addition, BMW has an interest in him. Coulthard, however, does not belong to our selection.

"Ex-Jaguar driver ဣChristian Klien wi༺ll get a contract offer from us. He has earned the chance of a second year.

"Vitantonio Liuzzi wi🥂ll test next week. Liuzzi is likely to be merged into the team, either as a race driver or test driver."
