British GP 2006 - Free Practice 1 & 2



World Cup 2006                                                                  Friday, 9 June 2006
Why is there only one



ball for 22 players? If



you gave a ball to each



of them, they'd stop



fighting for it! ~ Author Unknown




DAVID COULTHARD, 1st Practice P-, 2nd Practice P25
"We seem to have more oversteer, compared to when we tested here. Obviously, we've got more
to come when we start unleashing engine modes and so forth, but obviously, we're a lot further
away than we were relatively on day one in Monaco."

CHRISTIAN KLIEN, 1st Practice P-, 2nd Practice P23
"It's very windy out on the track today so it was difficult to drive. The wind had a big effect on the
car through the high-speed corners and we struggled with down-force. As a result, I spun in one
corner and damaged one of my tyres. That meant I had to use a second set today, so I've now lost
a  set  for  the  weekend.  In  the  second  run,  we  improved  the  car  balance  a  little,  but  it  was  still
difficult to drive. You couldn't really work on the set-up that much because tomorrow there might
be no wind, so it up would all be different all over again - but no wind will definitely mean better
balance."

ROBERT DOORNBOS, 1st Practice P-, 2nd Practice P12
"That was a disappointing day, the worst this season I think, which is a shame at the home race for
the factory. We had some mechanical problems this morning, so I wasn't able to complete a timed
lap. This afternoon the set-up of the car just wasn't there and we had to do too many things in a
short period of time, so that's why we were not very competitive. I wish the guys more luck for the
coming weekend."

BECKENBAUER, 1st Practice P-, 2nd Practice P-
"I think the Red Bull Racing boys need to work more on the wing…"
