Coulthard: Modern F1 drivers lack the 'anger and hunger' of past eras

Summary
David Coulthard believes modern F1 drivers lack the 'anger and hunger' that characterized more dangerous eras, attributing the change to improved safety and the pervasive influence of social media, which he feels has softened the raw competitive spirit he knew.

Former F1 star David Coulthard argues that today's drivers have lost the raw competitive edge and sense of danger that defined his generation, suggesting the sport has become safer and more sanitized.
