Hours after Jenson Button secured his first Formula One world drivers' title David Coulthard made it a fantastic double for British Motor Sport when he led his family to victory on ITV's "Celebrity Family Fortunes," coming from behind (no jokes, DC) to beat off the stiff challenge from Anthea Turner, Grant Bovey and family members before going on to claim the £10,000 for charity. Showing all the nerves of steel he utilised on his way to winning 13 Grands Prix, the Scot needed eight points from his final answer to claim the prize and took presenter Vernon Kay's chequered flag with aplomb. This follows a previous and equally stunning win on ITV's "Mr and Mrs" where, once again accompanied by his wife, Karen, Coulthard stormed home first. The man from Twynholm is in danger of becoming a serial TV quiz show winner. If I ever appear on "Countdown" and see DC sitting opposite me I'll quit on the spot. It also begs one further question. At the same time DC was waving goodbye to the "Family Fortunes" audience last night he was also standing in the Brawn garage in Sao Paulo explaining why Jenson Button was so deserving of his title. I know the man has a private jet, but it must be the quickest private jet in the world!
