A long-time racer Red Bull Racing he says: "Both men live their lives completely differently. Lewis flew from Monza to New York and took care of fashion there at the Met-Gala event. Max, on the other hand, spent his time privately in Monaco with his family. They are very different. Max likes to pull back, and Lewis is more open. But when they are on the track, they are only about victories."

About theirs teammates pri Mercedes in Red Bullu, Coulthard says: “Bottas and Perez need to race faster than ever. Valtteri surprised me, as the Sochi is usually a track on which he was always fast.
