First points for Webber, DC taken out

The Red Bull Racing team saw David Coulthard finish his race early when the Scotsman collided with Toyota driver Ralf Schumacher. Mark Webber though enjoyed a better race. The Australian picked up his first points in the Formula 1 championship with his seventh position.

There wasn't much to say about Coulthard's short race in Indianapolis. He looked back at his race saying: "That was a disappointing race, I only got to Turn one! I kept a steady line off the start into the first corner, making sure I left space on the inside to keep out of trouble. Watching the replay, it seems Ralf (Schumacher) came together with another car behind me. That rotated Ralf's car and he speared into the side of mine, which caused a lot of damage. It burst the oil cooler, so that was the end of my race."

Webber said about his race: "The race for me was pretty much a scrap with Jarno (Trulli) from start to finish. I would have liked slightly better car balance in the middle stint, but it's good to get two points in the bag. Of course, you always want more - more downforce, more reliability, more speed - but hopefully those things will continue to come and we can look forward to more points finishes like this in the future."
