Things didn't go according to plan for Red Bull Racing in todays qualifying sesion. Christian Klien was knocked out in the first session, and team mate David Coulthard could only manage a little betterby getting through to the second session, but not on to the final shootout.

“After a promising performance this morning, our afternoon performance was quite

disappointing. David got up to P2 but lost time with a yellow flag on his flying lap.

Considering that half a second quicker would have seen David quite a bit higher up the order

on what is a very tight grid. We now get a chance to review our race strategy overnight and

try and move up the order tomorrow.”

DAVID COULTHARD, (Position 14th): “What can I say? We hoped to get into the final ten,

but we weren’t quick enough. It’s disappointing what we understand the challenge we face

and we’re not scared of it. We just need to get on with working to make the car go faster.

From back here, it’s going to be very difficult to get any points, but as usual, we will do the

best we can.”

CHRISTIAN KLIEN, (Position 17th): “I had an electrical problem with the pit lane speed limit

button, which came on during my out lap, so I couldn’t accelerate any more. That went on for

two or three corners and so with the slow speed, my tyres cooled down and I could not get

them up to temperature for my flying lap.”
