Klien determined to be in F1

Former Red Bull Racing driver Christian Klien is still working on a future in Formula 1. The Austrian was at the Brazilian Grand Prix, where he had some interesting meetings with teams he revealed.

According to the 23-year-old he is a candidate for a number of openings next season. "It was a good weekend," Klien said about his trip to Brazil. "I had very useful meetings with teams which clearly recognise that I can bring the speed and experience necessary to contribute to their success."

"There is a lot of rumour and speculation about the driving opportunities for 2007, so it's useful to know what the teams really want and to understand what my role is in their plans. I am excited by the things they have told me, and I'm going to be working hard to finalise the best opportunity in the coming weeks. Of course it was frustrating not to be racing at Interlagos which is a challenging circuit and again produced a great race, but it has confirmed my determination to be in Formula One next season."
