Red Bull hopeful for qualifying session

The Formula One drivers could finally run on the new Valencia street circuit for the very first time. Both Red Bull Racing drivers, Mark Webber and David Coulthard are very pleased with the new track. Although the drivers didn't have a good start to the day, they are hopeful for tomorrow's qualifying session.

Mark Webber, 1st Practice P20, 2nd Practice P11
"First of all, they've done a great job with the track and it's a fantastic facility to drive, so that's good. We're not as quick as we'd like to be and we've still got a bit of work to do. The first session was very testing, but we improved the car in the second and we've got a lot of data to go through tonight to get ourselves a good grid position tomorrow."

David Coulthard, 1st Practice P19, 2nd Practice P13
"The track's good. It's a typical street circuit in that the rubbered line builds up very quickly but then off line you have much less grip. You don't get on a normal track, so that will make the race interesting if anyone runs wide. This morning wasn't so good, but we worked on the set up and made some improvements for the afternoon. Let's see what we can do tomorrow."
