Red Bull hope for more luck on Sunday

Red Bull drivers David Coulthard and Christian Klien were unable to qualify themselves in the Top Ten today. Coulthard qualified himself in eleventh position, while Klien qualified himself in fourteenth.

Coulthard commented on his qualifying run: "I think we made some improvements in qualifying compared to this morning, so I'm happy with that but obviously I'm disappointed with what happened with Montoya. He obviously made a mistake on his flying lap and then, in trying to make me pay for his pain, he drove slowly round the end of the lap before I could start mine. So, we'll have a Stewards enquiry to see what happens there, but to me it was deliberate action, which impeded another driver."

Christijan Klien commented on his day: "I was a bit happier with the balance of my car this afternoon. On my last set of tyres I was able to push quite hard and improve my time. I was on a good lap, but then I locked up the rears over a bump in to Turn 15. I lost the rear and my time was gone, otherwise it would have been a good lap I think. Tomorrow's race should be good and we can try to fight for points."
