Coulthard to honour Colin McRae at Fuji

David Coulthard will wear a special helmet for the Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji Speedway this weekend in honour of the late Colin McRae.

Coulthard was a close friend of the former world rally champion, who tragically died in a helicopter crash earlier this month. The black-and-white helmet reflects Colin's signature colours.

"By wearing Colin's helmet colours for the Japanese GP this weekend, I want to underline the enormous respect that motorsport in general and F1 in particular had for Colin as a driver and a person," said Coulthard.

"I will ask the other drivers to sign the helmet and I will give it to the McRae family as a mark of our respect and sincere condolences."

More than 54,000 well-wishers have posted messages of condolence on Colin's website.

The McRae family has organised a service to celebrate the lives of Colin and his son Johnny this Sunday (September 30), when Coulthard will be racing in the Japanese GP.
