QUALIFYING

David Coulthard (Car 14):
Position: 12; Time: 1:48.508; Engine: TJ020

ďż˝Itďż˝s not been such a great weekend for us so far, due to the changeable weather. We had limited time on the track yesterday and, as a result, weďż˝re a bit on the back foot now. Neither Christian nor myself know the car well enough to push flat out here. We can nail the fast corners no problem, but on the medium speed ones weďż˝re struggling to know how much momentum we can take through the turn. I definitely think the car was capable of going quicker in qualifying than it did, but following yesterdayďż˝s lack of track time, we didnďż˝t have the confidence to push. Itďż˝s going to be difficult to get points here and the best chance for us will be if we see some varied weather tomorrow.ďż˝

Christian Klien (Car 15):
Position: 16; Time: 1:48.994; Engine: TJ034

ďż˝Not my best qualifying lap of the season. We didnďż˝t have much time to set up the car because of yesterdayďż˝s rain. The balance of the car was not so good in the morning practices and I was struggling with understeer. We made quite a lot of changes between the final free practice and qualifying session to try to improve things, but I think we went in the wrong direction and I wasnďż˝t able to push as hard as Iďż˝d have liked. For tomorrowďż˝s race, everything is open. Itďż˝s hard to know what the weatherďż˝s going to do here so Iďż˝ll be concentrating on staying on the track and making no mistakes - in Spa you never know exactly whatďż˝s going to happen.ďż˝

Christian Horner, Sporting Director:
ďż˝It was a clean and tidy lap from David, who did his best to optimise what was achievable with his car today. Christian was not too happy with his carďż˝s balance and lost some time in the middle sector. Unfortunately, that allowed some cars get between himself and David on the timesheet, so heďż˝s got a bit of work to do tomorrow. But, weďż˝ve got a good strategy and who knows what the weatherďż˝s going to do, so I still think we have a chance for points.ďż˝
