Klien makes point for Red Bull
30 July 2006 / Results / PhotosChristian Klien brought home another point for Red Bull Racing while David Coulthard finished a disappointing eleventh after a first lap collision.
"I started 10th and finished 11th. That was my race and I've nothing more to say," Coulthard said.
Klien commented, "I'm really happy. It's the second point I've got this season, the first being in Bahrain, so I've had to wait a long time. I've had a lot of bad luck and bad races, but finally we've scored a point again. The start of the race was really good. I gained a position at the first corner and another two at the hairpin, where David and Ralf (Schumacher) were fighting and hit in to each other. The pace of the car was good. We struggled a little to keep the pace of Barrichello and Webber in the first stint, due to some understeer and graining on the front tyres, but the pit stops worked well and I had more wing for the second two stints. We pushed 100 per cent today and got the results."
Team boss Christian Horner added, "It was a fairly busy first lap. Unfortunately David didn't have a great start and his car was launched into the air after a collision with Ralf. He was lucky to get away without any suspension damage, but ultimately it cost him any chance of a decent result, despite showing good pace during the middle of the race. It was a shame after he had qualified so well. Christian managed to stay out of trouble, kept his head down and picked up a well-earned point, his first since Bahrain."
