Former Formula 1 driver David Coulthard tested an AMG Mercedes C-Class on the circuit of Monteblanco, Spain.

Coulthard has been a Formula 1 driver from 1994 up to and including 2008. He secured a total of 12 pole positions, captured 13 GP wins and set 18 fastest race laps.

From 1996 to 2004, the 38-year old raced for McLaren Mercedes and in 2008, he contested his final GP at the wheel of a Red Bull RB4.

Coulthard’s test shouldn’t be regarded as a hint to a potential involvement of the Scot in the 2010 DTM season however. The Scot is current very busy with his job as a TV commentator and as an advisor for Red Bull motorsport.

Mercedes also tested Cong Fu Cheng in Spain. The young Chinese driver raced in Formula 3 and A1GP last seasons, and could bring a significant budget to a private Mercedes team.

And according to Spanish website sportmotores.com, Miguel Molina will drive an Audi in the 2010 DTM championship.
