Red Bull drivers ready for final race

Red Bull drivers Robert Doornbos and David Coulthard qualified themselves for Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix in fifteenth and nineteenth position. It was once again a disappointing result mainly for David Coulthard.

Robert Doornbos said: "We really wanted to attack in the last qualifying session of the year and I think we did that. The sessions are a lot of fun - you can really drive on the limit and get the maximum out of the car. I think I got the maximum out of the car today. We've gone through tomorrow's race in our minds set-up wise, and we're going to be pushing hard."

David Coulthard said: "The balance of the car was the same as it had been this morning - and wasn't very good. On this type of track you need entrance stability in order to carry speed into the turns and I just haven't been able to find it. I've scored points from the back of the grid before and it's not over until the chequered flag, but clearly this makes it a lot more difficult to get a good result."
