David Coulthard enjoyed a long and spectacular career as a Formula One driver, during which he drove for three of the most successful teams in the history of the sport – Williams, McLaren and Red Bull Racing.

When he retired from F1 at the end of 2008, he held the record for being the highest points-scoring British Formula One driver of all time.

Winner of 13 Grands Prix, including twice winner of both the British and Monaco Grands Prix, David achieved a remarkable 62 podium finishes, racing against world-class competition including Michael Schumacher, Mika Hakkinen, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.

David Coulthard played a key role in helping McLaren win the Formula One World Championships for Constructors in 1998, with the team also finishing 2nd in 1999, 2000 and 2001. He also finished 2nd in the 2001 Formula One World Championship for Drivers behind the dominant Schumacher/Ferrari partnership, and was 3rd in the World Championship on no fewer than four occasions.

A founding member of the Red Bull Racing team in 2005, David brought the team its first podium finish in 2006 in Monaco, and was instrumental in developing it into a 4-times World Championship winning team between 2010 and 2013.

Since retiring as an F1 driver, David Coulthard has continued working with Red Bull Racing, driving its cars in promotional events all over the world. He has also remained a brand ambassador for leading companies including Mercedes-Benz, UBS Bank, Red Bull, IWC, Cooper Tires, Transcal and Heineken.

David Coulthard has established a successful second career as a world-class broadcaster and commentator, initially with BBC Television and more recently at Channel 4, for which David’s production company ‘Whisper Films’ produces the television coverage of Formula One in the UK. Outside Formula One,

David has been a successful entrepreneur, investing in a range of thriving businesses.

With fascinating insights and anecdotes from the frontline of the most elite and high-pressure sport there is, David Coulthard both entertains his audiences, and provides practical guidance on how they can push themselves to the next level. He is excellent in both a speech and “in conversation” format, and is happy to sign autographs, pose for pictures and conduct media interviews.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
  • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
  • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
  • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
  • Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
