After bowing out of F1 in 2008, he mixed racing in the DTM touring car series with a burgeoning career in television. Having recently retired from racing David is now devoting his time to his work as a presenter of BBC television’s Formula One coverage in the UK and his duties as a Red Bull ambassador.
