Coulthard reveals past Bulimia/anorexia problem!
I'd always thought Davids prominent chisselled chin and facial features to be purely genetic but was astonished to learn of him having suffered from anorexia and Bulimia. To go to such lengths to keep your weight down and yet to let Mika past him as part of a gentlemans agreement when he had his one and only chance to win a WDC with McLaren, is a paradox in itself.

It was years ago, in the days before drivers were able to spot the advantage in fitness and strength, so I can understand why he got himself in to the mess of an eating disorder. Brave to say it out loud now, too.

I have gained a whole new respect for DC. First with his middle finger at the Satanic Ferrari Team, not this. Hope that can help many people in the world to come out and help their problem.

Fortunately for us DC seems to be enjoying his role as the 'senior' driver in the field. He seems to be more relaxed, open and willing to speak his mind than before and his little dig at Massa in the press conference ("I think it's a conspiracy to favour Kimi. Good luck."
) stands out among the otherwise team-scripted driver responses prepared for the media.
In these days of 'driver development programmes' that see youngsters placed in racing series, schooled in the art of PR, and told that their own ambitions are secondary, it's refreshing to still have the likes of DC around.Riccardo Patrese - 256GPs 1977-1993
