TAKE IT ON







THE CHIN










DAVID  COULTHARD,  (Position  22th):  "There  was  failure  on  the  car.  Turn  three  is  not  a
difficult corner, even when you're flat out, and I was on an out lap and not pushing hard at all.
Something failed at the rear of the car and it just went away from me. I'm really pissed off as
I think we were in really good shape this morning, but we just need to take it on the chin and
see what we can do in the race."

CHRISTIAN KLIEN, (Position 15th): "I got through the first qualifying part okay. The second
part looked good at the beginning, but when I went out on new tyres I lost some time in the
first sector. The car was understeering quite a lot and (Jacques) Villeneuve held me up on
my last flying lap, but with this new qualifying system it's so easy to get held up in traffic. My
qualifying position is not great, but it's a long race tomorrow and we'll play a little bit with our
strategy, so hopefully we'll get some points."

CHRISTIAN HORNER:
"It was unfortunate that David suffered a problem. His car's water system lost pressure. He
was  quick  this  morning  and  was  feeling  confident  ahead of the session. For Christian, we
always knew it would be tight to get into the top ten, but we've been looking more competitive
this weekend. Christian made it through to part two of the session and the first time he set
was very respectable. Unfortunately he was blocked on his final run, which was a shame as
it cost him the opportunity to improve. The grid is so tight now that every tenth of a second
counts. But, we'll race hard tomorrow and go from there. "
