David Coulthard to retire at end of season Announcement from the Scotsman As was expected for a few days now, David Coulthard has announced his intention to retire from a long career as an active Formula One Grand Prix driver when the current season comes to an end. 如同大家期待的，DC宣布今年賽季結束後，由F1退役。 Following is the statement issued by DC today at Silverstone. 以下是DC在銀石的聲明。 "I would like to announce today my decision to retire from racing in Formula One at the end of this season. I will remain actively involved in the sport as a consultant to Red Bull Racing focusing on testing and development of the cars. 我在這邊宣布，今年賽季結束後就退休。我將會以紅牛顧問的身分，繼續參與F1活動。 I have an open mind as to whether or not I will compete again in the future, in some other form of motorsport, so I am definitely not hanging up my helmet! 對於參與其他摩托賽事的可能性，我抱持著開放的心態。所以，嚴格上來說，我還不能算是完全退休。 My decision to retire was taken earlier in the year and is based on a desire to stop while I am still competitive and enjoying the immense challenge that Grand Prix driving represents. I also have the desire to look for new challenges within the sport. 退休的決定稍早之前就做好了。我的想法是，趁著我還有競爭力，並且還很享受這巨大挑戰的時候退役。我也想要繼續面對其他在F1中，不同的挑戰。 The decision to make this announcement at the British GP should be an obvious one for all to understand, as I have achieved two of my thirteen F1 victories at Silverstone and I am a member of the British Racing Drivers' Club, which hosts this event. 選擇在銀石宣布這個消息，相信大家都知道原因。我在這邊拿下十三個分站冠軍中的兩個；我同時也是舉辦英國大賽的英國賽車手俱樂部的會員之一。 I am proud of my work at Red Bull Racing and will continue to race with the same focus until the last lap in Brazil. Thereafter I will continue to help the team develop and move towards their ultimate goal of winning races. 我對於我在紅牛的努力相當驕傲，而我也將繼續保持同樣的專注一直到本季的最後。在那之後，我將會繼續幫助車隊進行研發，朝向車隊的首勝邁進。 There are many people who have played a part in my career and I would like to list a few of them below: 以下是我賽車生涯中想要感謝的名單 - My parents whose energy and encouragement through my entire career has been amazing 我的父母。 - Dave Boyce who guided me through Karting Dave Boyce，卡丁車教練。 - David Leslie Senior and Junior for teaching me how to set up and race a car David Leslie Senior and Junior，賽車調校和賽車技巧的指導。 - Sir Jackie and Paul Stewart for putting me through their "staircase of talent" Sir Jackie and Paul Stewart，讓我通過他們的"天才的樓梯"。 - Sir Frank Williams and Williams Renault for having the faith to promote me from test driver to race driver, which led to my first GP victory Sir Frank Williams and Williams Renault，相信我的能力，採用我成為正式車手，我的第一次分站冠軍。 - Ron Dennis and the McLaren team where I spent nine seasons and achieved the majority of my success Ron Dennis and the McLaren team，我們一起共事九年，也是我生涯最輝煌的時候。 - Norbert Haug and Mercedes for being racers through and through Norbert Haug and Mercedes，支持我身為賽車手。 - Dietrich Mateschitz and his Red Bull Racing team for providing me with the chance to contribute to the development of a new team, while continuing to compete and add to my tally of podiums Dietrich Mateschitz and his Red Bull Racing team，給我機會，讓我可以對於一隻新車隊的發展做出貢獻，也讓我有機會繼續在場上競爭，並且讓我有再站上頒獎台的機會。 - Christian Horner for his open and professional management style in association with Helmut Marko Christian Horner，Helmut Marko，管理方面。 - Bernie Ecclestone for providing such a strong platform for us all to develop our skills and be able to call ourselves professionals. In years to come, my future family will still be thanking him for the financial success of F1 Bernie Ecclestone，提供我們如此好的平台，讓我們可以發展我們的本領，然後說自己是專家。在未來的這幾年，我的家庭也將會繼續感謝他讓F1的財務成功。 - My management team of Martin Brundle and David Cawthorne in association with Annette Hutchinson and Iain Cunningham for providing their valued opinions. Martin Brundle，David Cawthorne，Annette Hutchinson，Iain Cunningham 管理團隊。 - There have been three teams but only one designer, so Adrian Newey deserves special thanks for all the champagne that I have sprayed 我的生涯經歷三支車隊，但是只有一位設計師，Adrian Newey。我所有在頒獎台上噴的香檳，都要感謝他。 - And last but not least, all the media, officials, marshals, medical support, mechanics, engineers, sponsors, lawyers, accountants and back room staff that I have worked with during this period." 最後則是，所有的媒體，官方工作人員，賽場工作人員，醫療人員，車隊技工，車隊設計師，贊助商，律師，會計師，以及所以後房人員。 David Coulthard began his Formula One career in 1994 at Williams, taking the seat left vacant following Ayrton Senna's tragic loss. His nine years spent at McLaren included one of the longest driver pairings seen in F1, with double World Champion Mika Hakkinen as teammate. DC在1994年以正式車手的身分踏入F1賽道，代替因事故身亡的洗拿。他在麥拉倫九年的時間中，與Mika Hakkinen組成F1史上，搭檔最久的隊友組合之一。 With Red Bull, Coulthard recorded the team's maiden podium when he took third place at the conclusion of the 2006 Monaco Grand Prix, famously bearing a Superman cape during the trophy ceremony. 在紅牛，DC則是拿下了隊史上首次頒獎台，那是2006摩納哥。那場頒獎典禮，DC一路帶著超人帽直到結束。 ---- http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlines/news/detail/080703154156_1.shtml ---- DC BYEBYE~~ -- 不喜勿入 www.wretch.cc/blog/ToeicRobert -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 221.169.248.208 ※ 編輯: buring 來自: 221.169.248.208 (07/03 23:46)
