Between them, David Coulthard, Christian Klien and Scott Speed completed 110 laps in today�s free practices. Driving aboard the team�s third car, GP2 driver Scott Speed used the sessions to familiarise himself with his car�s set-up, while gaining valuable test data for the team. Unfortunately, he ran wide on a corner and spun during the second practice, which brought his session to a premature end.

David Coulthard (Car 14):
Chassis Number: 3
1st Practice Position: 18; Best Time: 1:19.694; Laps: 10
2nd Practice Position: 17; Best Time: 1:17.299; Laps: 27

�Similarly to Friday in Nurburgring, the pace of the car hasn�t been so good today and we need to try and understand which areas to target in order to improve performance. We�ll see where we are tomorrow but, at the moment, we�re quite a distance from the front-runners.�

Christian Klien (Car 15):
Chassis Number: 1
1st Practice Position: 17; Best Time: 1:19.212; Laps: 10
2nd Practice Position: 18; Best Time: 1:17.922; Laps: 26

�Overall, that was not so good. We did three long runs to compare the tyres and collected some useful data, which will help us decide which to use tomorrow. However, we�re struggling for speed a little on this circuit, especially on the long straights. I think we need to find something extra if we�re to do well here.�

Scott Speed (Test Driver):
Chassis Number: 2
1st Practice Position: 15; Best Time: 1:18.499; Laps: 22
2nd Practice Position: 23; Best Time: 1:19.270; Laps: 15

�The car is comfortable to drive and I was out there trying to do the best job I could, to enable the team to get the data they needed. I was concentrating on trying to give the team some good feedback from the laps I completed. It was a shame I went off before the end of the session. Before that, the balance of the car had felt good and the condition of the track was improving with every lap.�

G�nther Steiner, Technical Director:

�We need to look at why Scott suffered his incident and will be analysing the data we get from his car. At the moment, the overriding factor is that we�re not fast enough. We need to analyse why this is and try to do something about it before tomorrow."
