David Coulthard has admitted that he is targeting BAR-Honda for a drive in 2005, when he will be dumped by McLaren-Mercedes, who💎 are replacing the Scot with Juan Pablo Montoya.

Speaking during Thursday's FIA press conference, DC admitted that it was a bit 'worrying' seeing so many drives disappearing, with news during the three-week summer holiday, that Giancarlo Fisichella will join Renault, and that Mark Webber and probabl🍃y Jenson Button will end up at💟 Willams, the latter currently uncertain as BAR maintain that have a contract with the Englishman.

All four top teams - Ferrari, McLaren, Williams and Renault - have thus now confirmed their lin💛🎐e-ups for next season, with Toyota expected to confirm Jarno Trulli alongside Ralf Schumacher any day soon, which just leaves Jaguar, BAR and if he was really desperate Sauber or Jordan as possibilities.

Asked if BAR were now a possible he repli🏅ed: "Abso𒁃lutely".

"All the seats that are available you target," he continued, "and I 🌼think BAR's performance this year quite clearly has been fantastic and there is no reason to expect that they are going to be any𝓡 further away next season.

"I think they've done a fantastic job and under David Riඣchards' leadership, there's absolutely no reason why ♚they can't continue to build on that."

When asked more specifically on his future, as usual th𝔍e Scot was playing his cards close to his chest.

"I can't talk specifically about conversations until I have an announℱcement to make and that's always been the way we've𒉰 dealt with our contractual business," he commented.

"But I am highly motivated to continue🐼 racing. I was surprised to hear that some of the websites and magazines were questioning how hungry am I? How much do you want it? Well, very much. I don't have a wife, I don't have children, I don't have any commitments in my diary other than racing, testing and training. I should maybe remember my girlfriend's birthday later in the year, but other than that there really is nothing else in my life which is a reason to get out of bed in the morning, so🍨 the motivation and commitment is absolute.

🦋"My CV, I am the ౠsecond most successful driver on the grid today and that didn't happen by accident, it happened through talent and hard work and hopefully that will be picked up and I will continue to build on that."

"There are naturally only 🐠so many seats available and you know in time we'll find out whether there's one available for me," he concluded.
