It would be very interesting.     Grin.
Coulthard has done well, and it can easily be
argued that he deserved better.
I have some rather strong feelings about
late 97 & early 98.

He had won a GP, went to McLaren in their
down years.  He got them their first wins
in 4 years, and clearly out pointing his
teammate.  He was leading his teammate,
then Ron Dennis jabbering in his ear and
making his team wishes clear.  Coulthard
let Hakkinen through for his first GP win.

Then to start out 98 with great optomism
for a great new car.  Again, leading his
team mate and Ron Dennis again jabbering
in his ear, making Dennis's wishes /orders (?)
for the team clear.  Coulthard
let Hakkinen through for the win.

Two in a row!
That has to really disturb a driver's
motovation and confidence.
