DC could know F1 future in a month

(GMM) David Coulthard could know his future on the F1 grid within weeks, the veteran Scot has revealed.

Red Bull's 35-year-old lead driver, although rumored to also be on Toyota's 2007 short list, told 'News Of The World' that he would like to stay where he is.

Coulthard said: ''My future should be decided soon, possibly in a month or so.

''But I want to stay with Red Bull (Racing) and I have started talks with them about next year.''

He also advised his pay-masters at the energy drink-owned outfit to be cautious about handing a race drive to a younger star.

'DC' insisted: ''They aren't going to be any quicker than I am.

''(However) if you rush someone in and they aren't ready you can crush their career.''
