In one of the best moves I’ve seen in a long time. McLaren offered a guided tour of their facility and lunch for four in a recent charity auction in which David Coulthard was the winning bidder. McLaren kept their end of the bargain and Martin Whitmarsh gave David and his Red Bull teammates the guided tour to a lot of strange looks as they walked by the McLaren employees. David Coulthard, Martin Brundle and Adrian Newey, as well as Christian Horner were given the VIP tour and lunch. Martin said:
“It’s fantastic that he has put his hand in his own pocket to support this charity auction and it’s great to see him back at Woking,” Whitmarsh said.
“This afternoon showed that we still remain friends with many of our former drivers – because Martin, of course, is an ex-McLaren driver too.”
