Difficult qualifying session for Red Bull drivers

By on

During the Hungarian qualifying session this afternoon, David Coulthard and Christian Klien weren't very lucky. The Red Bull drivers will start from 13th and 14th position on the grid tomorrow and will need a good race to finish in the points.

David Coulthard "The qualifying session didn't go quite as we hoped. On each run, I was going quicker and the final lap was looking good, but unfortunately I came up behind Tiago Monteiro and lost some time. I dropped about eight tenths of a second, so I didn't even finish it."

Christian Klein "Luckily I was able to get through the first part of qualifying using just one set of tyres. In the second part, I improved my time on both new sets of tyres. It was actually quite tricky to drive in today's sessions, as the car was quite nervous. We need a good race tomorrow to make some progress and hopefully I'll finish the race in a higher position than I did in today's qualifying."

Christian Horner "I think David was unlucky on his final lap. He looked set to improve his time, but got held up in traffic. I think making the top ten would have been difficult today, although I think we could have been a little bit higher up than we were. With the penalties for Alonso, M. Schumacher and Button we will benefit a couple of positions, and we've opted for a tyre that will hopefully serve us well in the race."
