When was the holder of the Order of the British Empire in Prague for the first time? Or what thing did the Scottish pilot reveal about himself for the first time? Fifty-three-year-old David Coulthard aka DC answers.

When we mention “Prague”, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind?
When I hear the word Prague, I immediately think of Charles Bridge and overall beautiful architecture. The city exudes an uncanny charm in this one. I must not forget the Prague Castle, which I also really like.

Do you remember when you were in the Czech capital for the first time?
I don’t know the exact date, but I think it was the mid-nineties. I know I was enjoying my time watching downtown in one of the plazas. A very pleasant memory.

What are you most looking forward to at the Red Bull Showrun presented by foodora in Prague?
To meet people who have never seen a Formula 1 car before and watch their faces. I believe that the audience will enjoy it to the maximum. Just like me.

If you had to highlight one thing at the Red Bull Showrun presented by foodora, what would you say?
That absolutely unique sound and smell. You just never get to see these things on TV. In short, come and find out for yourself.

What is your favorite part of Showrun?
How we bring an F1 car to the heart of the city. I find that absolutely amazing!

How do you like the Prague location and the Showrun track?
It’s a great place. There is perhaps only one better place, and that is Charles Bridge. However, the people here in Karlín will be as close as possible and I believe that they will enjoy the complete program for one hundred percent.

How close do you think we are to a woman racing in F1 again?
I think we’re talking about the next decade. There a woman could already appear in Formula 1.

Finally, could you mention one thing about you that no one knows?
I am a perfectionist when it comes to cleaning. I have to keep everything clean and tidy at home. For example, the shoes have their fixed place and I have them aligned down to the smallest detail.

Software development is undergoing a fundamental shift. Large language models aren’t just accelerating coding or automating routine tasks — they’re changing what software is. Logic is no longer limited to rules and algorithms; it’s increasingly infused with context, meaning, psychology, and a deeper understanding of how people and societies actually function.
