McLaren-Mercedes reject David Coulthard has admitted that Toyota or Williams would be a good move in 2005, when Juan Pablo Montoya tak𒅌es over his drive at the Woking based team.

Speaking to the media 𝄹in the build up to the Australian Grand Prix, the Scot added that there 💎was no need for him to be a 'rude c*** in order to gain respect'.

DC told British newspaper The Sun: "If I have a strong season this year I have🎃 no doubts that I will be in a good team for 2005.

"Toyota are a team moving forward and one that need𒆙s a wi♍nning driver. They are committed to the long term. And I would love to drive for Williams. This season it's in my hands to show I can still do it so I can be on the grid in 2005 in the best seat possible.

"Taking 🐻someth𓂃ing lower down the grid isn't a realistic option.

"Only Michael Schumacher is doing more 🌳than me in working with a team. Of all the drivers this year I am second to Mic💟hael in average points scored. I enjoy what I do and I'm good at it."

Coulthard added: "I knew last July that Montoya༺ was coming to McLaren and I didn't find it as dramatic as some people are making out. It's not as if I caught the missus cheating on me. I'm not married to McLaren and, inevitably, after nine years there will be a natural point to move on.

"Formula 🦩One is my passion not McLaren or boss Ron Dennis. I dream about winning Grands Prix - not McLaren or Ron. I have never had the emotions towards the organisation that people felt I had. And I have always felt drivers are replaceable because F1 isn't a life career.

"🀅McLaren is a serious company and I know the rules of the game. There's no reason for me to throw my dummy out because this is a chance to seek pastures new."

"Some people would like to see me throw the steering wheel over the fencing like Nigel Mansell when things go bad or grab Schumacher by the throat," continued the Scot, "but just because I don't doesn't mean I shy away from confrontat🌄ion. I just don't go looking for it.

"On the track I don't have a habit of coming off second best or moving over for a driver. It's been one of the confusing things throughout my life in F1: why do I have to be a rude c*** out oཧf the car to gain respect when I have demonstrated what I can do in the car?

"When I gave Schum🌜acher the finger that was pretty ꦦgood. Show me the last time someone has raced like that recently? What do people want, spikes in the wheels?

"I won't be totally satisfied if I never win the title but I won't spend the rest of my life in the darkness of shame over my results. They are significantly better than many who have won the championship"

So is DC right? Does he have a chance of joining Toyota or Williams in 2005? And in his own words does he need to be a 'rude c*** off' the track to win respect?
