1,2,3...did not finish

By on

More problems for the Red Bull Racing Team as both David Coulthard and Christian Klien didn't finish the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola. Coulthard his drive shaft broke and Klien suffered a hydraulic problem. The Red Bull drivers have had a very difficult first 4 races of the season.

David Coulthard “I had a broken drive shaft. Possibly as a result of something that happened after the pit stop, because when I pulled away I had a problem with the engine taking a lot of revs. It’s a shame, because although we had seen this in winter testing, it had never happened in a race so far.”

Christian Klien “The whole weekend has not been good for me with a lot of problems, starting in the first free practice session. In qualifying I had that bother with the speed limiter and now in the race I had a hydraulic problem. The race did not go well: I started behind Scott Speed and with it being so hard to pass here, I lost a lot of time behind. When I had a clear track ahead of me the car was actually quite respectable until it stopped. “

Christian Horner, Sporting Director “A very disappointing race with both cars not making it to the finish. It was very difficult to score points today with both Ferraris, Renaults and McLarens coming home in the points. It’s clear that we have a lot of work ahead of us, starting next week at the Silverstone test.”
