Disappointing Friday for Red Bulls

It was a disappointing Friday for the Red Bull Racing team at Silverstone as Coulthard finished 25th, Klien 23rd and test driver Robert Doornbos was twelfth.

"We seem to have more oversteer, compared to when we tested here," Coulthard said. "Obviously, we've got more to come when we start unleashing engine modes and so forth, but obviously, we're a lot further away than we were relatively on day one in Monaco." 

Klien commented, "It's very windy out on the track today so it was difficult to drive. The wind had a big effect on the car through the high-speed corners and we struggled with down-force. As a result, I spun in one corner and damaged one of my tyres. That meant I had to use a second set today, so I've now lost a set for the weekend. In the second run, we improved the car balance a little, but it was still difficult to drive. You couldn't really work on the set-up that much because tomorrow there might be no wind, so it up would all be different all over again - but no wind will definitely mean better balance."
