18 June: United States Grand Prix - Qualifying Report - Red Bull Racing

David Coulthard (Car 14): Position: 16
Time: 1:12.682; Engine: TJ020

�We�ve lost a little balance in the car since yesterday, after altering the tyre pressure. We�ve had to increase the pressure because we�re competing on such an unusual track here. The actual qualifying lap itself wasn�t going too badly in terms of balance, until the back straight going into Turn eight. I lost control of the back end of the car and quite a lot of time. We set some good laps yesterday, but with limited time in the car this morning, I�ve been prepared for a tricky weekend.�

Christian Klien (Car 15): Position: 14
Time: 1:12.132; Engine: TJ026

�The qualifying lap was really good and the car felt comfortable through the one lap session. We had to increase the tyre pressure this morning, but it didn�t affect things too much, so I was quite happy. I think tomorrow in the race, the higher tyre pressure might result in some oversteer, so we have to find a solution for that. The new engine was better and we definitely had more speed on the long straight.�

Christian Horner, Sporting Director:
�We were hoping for more from this qualifying session than fourteenth and sixteenth, but we�ve got a decent race strategy and I�m sure that we�ll make up places tomorrow in the race. Christian drove a pretty clean lap and David was pushing as hard as possible, but had a moment that cost him a bit of time. But, we�ve scored points from these qualifying positions before and that�s what we�ll be looking to do tomorrow.�
